Huawei’s Grand Launch Of Next Image Awards; World’s Leading Online Mobile Photography Competition
Huawei has also announced the launch of the fourth
edition of its legendary Next Image Awards. Huawei’s Next Image Awards is one
of the world’s best online photography awards that is committed to broaden the
horizon of visual culture and encourage mobile photography worldwide.
The "NEXT" in NEXT-IMAGE
refers to the next generation of photographers using the next generation of
tools to create and spread the next generation of visual content – all with new
forms of interaction and feedback. The "IMAGE" part of the name
refers to both static imagery and new forms of dynamic visual expression.
HUAWEI has proposed the
"NEXT-IMAGE" concept not only to highlight the many years of
innovative spirit it has brought to the field of visual expression, but also to
create a new word that conveys its insight into what it believes is growing
into a new school of photography. In 2019, more than 150 + countries
participated and over 520,000 entries were received.
The
competition requires the participants to send their best photograph, which will
be meticulously judged by the jury members. Under the umbrella of the
competition lies six categories, one of which a participant must stick to while
submitting his/her entry. The participants have to send their entries and
brownie points will be awarded to shots taken through a Huawei phone. Apart
from the 3 grand prizes of USD $10,000 each, each of the 6 categories will have
its own winners. Fifty runner ups can also win the flagship Huawei P40 Pro
smartphone each.
The
six categories are as follows -
1.Near Far - Discovering new places and new experiences there by using new
features of phone camera, for instance tele-photo, super-wideangle or
macro-shootinglens.

Huawei CBG and Andrew Garrihy, Western Europe CMO of HUAWEI CBG.
