Huawei has launched an international design competition to celebrate exciting designers and thinkers from all over.

The theme of the contest was “Visionary Art.” The aim was to bring together the world’s foremost creative minds to explore the future of mobile aesthetics. Huawei wanted to investigate how to obtain commercial, aesthetic, and cultural value to over 170 countries and regions and more than 600 million Huawei users.
