Huawei one of the world's biggest smartphone company has launched second annual NEXT-IMAGE Awards, with the support of the International Center of Photography (ICP), the world’s leading institution dedicated to photography and visual culture.

Huawei Experience Ambassadors , Visual creatives from around the world, and Huawei smartphone users from Pakistan, are invited to submit their entries and compete to become NEXT-IMAGE finalists.

The NEXT-IMAGE Awards are an important part of Huawei’s plan to redefine visual expression and culture through more professional and intuitive smartphone cameras. Having started in 2017, the awards provide Huawei smartphone users from around the world with a gallery where they can showcase their best work to a global audience. Last year there were over 157,000 submissions to the awards from over 90 different countries, with 500 finalists chosen.

Announcing the launch of the NEXT-IMAGE Awards during his keynote speech at CES ASIA, Kevin Ho, President of Huawei’s Handsets Product Line said:

The annual NEXT-IMAGE Awards are designed to inspire smartphone users to capture and share moments in life and experience the joy of photography. With HUAWEI leading the way in advancing image taking and redefining the meaning of visual expression, the awards are also our commitment to explore alongside Huawei mobile users, the possibilities of next-generation smartphone photography and video-graphy.

 ICP Executive Director Mark Lubell said:

The images that emerged from this program were powerful and provocative. We’re excited to continue this program as a way to engage image makers around the world while celebrating the power of mobile photography to spark conversation and increase visual literacy across generations.

Categories  of the 2018 NEXT-IMAGE Awards are:

• Good Night

• Faces

• Hello

• Story Board 

After being shortlisted to 500 finalists, remaining entries will be judged by a panel composed of five industry experts including ICP’s Mark Lubell, along with five up-and-coming young visual storytellers — many of whom are recent graduates of the ICP School— as mobile photography cannot just be defined by experts, but also by a young generation who use their phones on a daily basis to take pictures to share on social media.
