On September 2nd, Huawei officially launched the HUAWEI GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity 2026 at the Chase the Wild global innovative product launch event in Munich, Germany.
The campaign invites art enthusiasts from around the world, regardless of age, nationality, or artistic background, to explore the possibilities of digital art.
The initiative brings technology and artistic expression together, making digital art more accessible by removing traditional barriers associated with professional-level artistry. This year, the introduction of a new Easy Creation category further lowers the entry threshold, encouraging everyone to experience the joy of digital art and become part of a truly global creative community.
As a leading name in the digital art space, the GoPaint app, developed by Huawei, combines professional-grade capabilities with an intuitive, user-friendly creative experience. Advanced features, such as realistic brushes, high-definition canvases, and low-latency drawing, support a wide range of artistic styles and demanding creative applications, from traditional Chinese ink painting and realistic portraiture to futuristic sci-fi, avant-garde experimentation, and narrative illustration. At the same time, the app continues to make digital creation more approachable for everyday users, helping more people transform their ideas and inspiration into original works of art.
A key highlight of this year’s campaign is the newly introduced Easy Creation category. This category encourages participants to start with photos from their everyday lives and turn them into creative pieces through simple doodles, artistic embellishments, light and shadow adjustments, and layered elements. Whether it’s a travel scene, a favourite meal, or a spontaneous moment captured from everyday life, almost anything can serve as a springboard for creativity. With no complex techniques or lengthy processes required, participants can seize fleeting inspiration and make it uniquely their own.
Participants can submit their entries till January 31st of 2027. This year, users can submit their artwork right from the HUAWEI MatePad Gallery by sharing it through the My HUAWEI app. The activity is also available through the HUAWEI Community website, where participants can upload their entries directly.
After two years of continuous growth, the campaign has evolved into an influential global digital art event, attracting creators with diverse backgrounds and artistic styles. To date, it has received more than 10,000 submissions from around the world, featuring works by professional artists, art students, children, and everyday art enthusiasts alike. This breadth of participation reflects the rich diversity of artistic expression and perspectives within the campaign, while underscoring GoPaint’s ongoing commitment to embracing all forms of creativity and ensuring every creative idea has a place to be seen and celebrated.
