NEXT-IMAGE Awards 2021
Deadline: 30 November 2021

DESCRIPTION
As an important part of Huawei’s NEXT-IMAGE Plan, which started in 2017, the annual NEXT-IMAGE Awards is committed to inspiring mobile phone users worldwide to create a new visual culture. The “NEXT” in NEXT-IMAGE refers to the photographers using next generation tools to create and spread cutting-edge visual content. “IMAGE” refers to both static imagery as well as new forms of dynamic visual expression. HUAWEI proposed the “NEXT-IMAGE” concept not only to highlight the many years of innovation it has brought to the field of visual expression, but also to create a concept that represents a new growing school of photography.
The NEXT-IMAGE Awards embody Huawei’s dedication to the craft and artistry of modern photography. By equipping aspiring photographers with cutting-edge technology, Huawei hopes to provide the outlet for an outpouring of creative inspiration.
The photos or videos can be submitted by HUAWEI phone users in the following categories:
- Portrait. Taking self portraits, portraits of others, or group shots that contain the face, full body, or silhouette of the subjects.
- Monochrome. Using just black and white to capture fun moments, share feelings, or showcase your innovative personality.
