Here is Ariadne Figueira from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The recognition of my work by the Outstanding Award was a gesture of kindness, a moment of great emotion and joy amidst a period of many challenges and difficulties worldwide.
I still remember vividly the wonderful feeling of waking up and knowing that my work had been internationally recognized in such a serious and prestigious competition!
My family, friends, and clients shared in this immense emotion with me, making everything even more special.
I extend my thanks to everyone involved and encourage other professionals, artists, to experience the same happiness by allowing themselves to participate as well.
