Huawei has officially opened submissions for the GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity 2025, a global digital art competition designed to celebrate creativity and innovation in painting and animation.
Running until December 31, 2025, the contest gives artists and hobbyists alike the opportunity to showcase their work to a global audience, with winners receiving cash prizes, exposure, and international recognition.
A Global Stage for Digital Creativity
The GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity 2025 is powered by Huawei’s exclusive GoPaint app. It is a professional-grade digital painting tool available on the Huawei MatePad series. The competition invites creators to submit original works across five categories: Digital Watercolour & Ink, Animation, Sci-Fi Art, Cutting-Edge Paintings, and Narrative Art.
This year introduces a new Animation category, where artists can bring their ideas to life through frame-by-frame storytelling. Entries can range from simple sketches with movement to fully polished sequences.
Each participant, aged 18 and above, may submit up to 30 works, provided they are created using any Huawei tablet. Submissions must be uploaded in JPG, PNG, or MP4 format via the official contest website. Images should be under 30 MB at 300 dpi, while animations can be up to 400 MB with 1080p resolution. Each entry must also include a short description of 30–100 words, explaining the story behind the artwork.
Recognition, Prizes, and Global Exposure
The contest will award 20 Honorable Mentions, with each winner receiving USD 1,000 and an official certificate. Beyond cash prizes, selected artworks will be showcased at Huawei’s press conferences, art exhibitions, global campaigns, and social media platforms.
Winning entries may also be adapted into wallpapers for Huawei Themes or merchandise, potentially reaching millions of Huawei users worldwide. In addition, winners will have the opportunity to share their creative process and inspirations through interviews and behind-the-scenes features.
