Unveiled at the “Chase the Wild” product launch in Germany, the HUAWEI GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity 2026 is now officially open for submissions. The competition invites digital artists, professional creators, and everyday enthusiasts from around the world, including Filipino creators, to bring their ideas to life through digital art. Building on the activity’s growing global community, which has contributed over 10,000 submissions in the past two years, participants can submit their original digital artworks until January 31, 2027, and join a worldwide celebration of diverse artistic expression.
This year, HUAWEI is making the activity more accessible with the introduction of the new Easy Creation category, giving aspiring digital artists a simpler way to get started. All entries must be created exclusively using a HUAWEI tablet and the GoPaint app, which features realistic brushes, high-definition canvases, and low-latency drawing for an intuitive digital art experience. With tools designed to support creators of different skill levels, GoPaint makes it easier for anyone to turn their ideas into original digital artworks.
Five Categories to Spark Inspiration
HUAWEI has expanded the competition to five categories, introducing the new Easy Creation category alongside four returning categories: Digital Watercolor and Ink, Sci-Fi Art, Cutting Edge Paintings, and Narrative Art. The updated categories encourage creators of different skill levels to explore their artistic expression through HUAWEI’s ecosystem capabilities.
The new Easy Creation category offers a more accessible starting point for aspiring digital artists. It invites participants to capture a photo using a HUAWEI smartphone or tablet, then creatively paint directly over the photo using the HUAWEI GoPaint app. By providing a simpler way to get started with digital art, the new category opens the activity to more creators looking to turn everyday moments and ideas into original artworks.
