Hello … I think the winners are not scheduled to be announced until ‘early spring’ however I got an email a few weeks ago with a certificate appointing me this year’s “Ambassador of the Spanish language in your country” … does this mean I’m a finalist? Or is this a consolation? Anyone know? I found one other person who got this same appointment in Nigeria. 172 countries participated so I assume no more than 172 of these went out, but my piece was in English.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks

Hi Ma’am,
I submitted an entry this morning and I was wondering if you received any confirmation email or anything after the submit because I haven’t. Should I be worried? 😛
