A few weeks ago
the National Museum of the American Latino launched their 2nd Annual Campaign Design contest and today we have a winner! Ana Maria Villegas, whose design can be seen above, from Coral Springs, FL will be flying to Washington, D.C. for a special unveiling event. The winning design will be the featured image of FRIENDS' national
campaign in 2013. Along with the trip to
Washington, D.C. for an unveiling ceremony along with national exposure
for their work, Ana will play an important role in the historic campaign to build a
National American Latino Museum in our nation's capital.
"In this original pastel painting I portray the innocence and excitement
of a Latino child being immersed within a new culture integrating
Latino and American richness," said Ana. "The feathers represent the indigenous
roots, as I found them in Native American and Aztec headdresses."
The new winner,
although different from last year's winner, emphasizes Latinos in the U.S. I believe Ana really captured our soul and the addition of the American flag was probably key in the design.
