VLU Student Triumph at the Adobe Certified Professional World Championship 2023

On August 2, 2023, Ngo Hoang Phu, a Graphic Design student of Course 26, achieved a remarkable achievement for Vietnam at the Adobe Certified Professional World Championship (ACPWC) 2023. He proudly won the People’s Choice Award, which made the Vietnamese team become one of the two teams with the most awards in this year’s competition.

The Adobe Certified Associate World Championship – ACAWC is an annual competition organized since 2013 by Certiport (US) - the world’s leading computer testing group. This competition allows young people to showcase their talents in using Adobe software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Indesign. The competition has a global scale, attracting hundreds of thousands of participants from nearly 70 countries and territories each year.

The ACPWC 2023 final was held in Orlando, Florida (USA), from July 30 to August 2. The organizer provided the contestants with image resources và design requirements to create works for a global non-profit project. After 8 hours, Ngo Hoang Phu’s design impressed professors, partners, and VIP guests of the competition, earning him the People’s Choice Award worth $500.

Before becoming one of the three ACP ambassadors representing Vietnam to compete against participants around the world, Hoang Phu surpassed thousands of passionate graphic design students from universities across the country.

After the success of champions, including Nguyen Duc Hoang (Course 23) and Phan Thuy Nhi (Course 24), and Le Ngoc Hai (Course 25), Ngo Hoang Phu (Course 26) secured the title for the 2023 season, making Van Lang University the proud winner of the ACAWC final for four consecutive years.

Congratulations to Hoang Phu for the significant achievement. The success of Hoang Phu and the generations of VLU students from the Faculty of Arts & Design have proved Graphic Design students’ capabilities and showcased the competitiveness of VLU students on the global stage.
