HUAWEI has launched this year’s edition of the GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity. Through the art creation initiative, HUAWEI invites digital art creators to send in their imaginative pieces made with the GoPaint App, available exclusively on HUAWEI tablets. The GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity highlights the limitless possibilities for creation on HUAWEI’s professional yet user-friendly painting tool. The GoPaint App, designed for artists of all levels, empowers creators to explore countless tools, elevating the digital art creation experience. The app features comprehensive guides and tutorials from the China Academy of Art and utilizes advanced hardware including a Professional Brush Engine with Fluid, Splatter, and Dual-Effect brushes. Powered by the FangTian Painting Engine 2.0, the app supports 8K canvases with up to 500 layers, over 150 brush settings, and 10,000 pressure levels with the 3rd generation HUAWEI M-Pencil.
The upgraded GoPaint App is featured on all HUAWEI tablets including its latest offering, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2". The newest device comes with the industry leading dual OLED PaperMatte Display, transforming users’ digital experience once more. The tablet displays clear and vibrant visuals with a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits while sporting eye-friendly properties using advanced anti-sparkle and nanoscale anti-glaring technologies for premium, paper-like experience. The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2” boasts more than PC-level experience with productivity apps including the improved HUAWEI Notes and the PC-level WPS Office apps. The latest HUAWEI tablet also supports the all-new HUAWEI Glide Keyboard which features a storage and charging slot for HUAWEI M-Pencil and other styluses. Placing the stylus in the slot automatically pairs it to the tablet. “Technology can both be an instrument and a companion in the creative process and HUAWEI’s GoPaint app is one of the best tools to use for art creation,” said Filipino artist Rudz. He explained that he has used the GoPaint app on the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2” to create some of his pieces. Rudz lauded the HUAWEI’s painting app, saying, “It makes the process of creating art more seamless and allows artists to bring ideas to life effortlessly. With the precision of the HUAWEI M-Pencil and, of course, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2” making art has never been easier and more satisfying.”

This year, the theme for the activity is “Creative By Nature". Interested participants are encouraged to capture the beauty of nature and explore infinite possibilities using the GoPaint App. The GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity invites participants from around the world to showcase their graphic, visual, and poster design skills. More than a creative challenge, the global movement seeks to serve as a platform for creators to bring their visions to life using the GoPaint App. Supported by a vast network of flagship stores, educational institutions, and online communities from all over the world, the initiative seeks to collect over 10,000 entries from participants across the globe. Participants may submit entries for various categories including Sci-Fi Art, Design & Fashion, Narrative Art, Cutting Edge Paintings, and Digital Watercolor & Ink. “It’s a great avenue for professional and aspiring artists to challenge themselves and break through creative boundaries. This can become a launching pad for fresh, dynamic voices in the digital art world," said Rudz of the global creation initiative. Submission of entries is open until December 31, 2024. A selection panel will review the submitted entries for each region and select the top 100 entries. From the top 100, an expert jury panel will select the winning top 20 Honourable Mentions. Members of the jury panel include “The Mandalorian” and “Avatar: Way of the Water” Concept Artist John Park, Renowned Illustrator and Forbes Under 30 (Art and Style) Honoree Victo Ngai, “Avengers: Endgame” Senior Concept Artist Pablo Dominguez, and HUAWEI Milan Aesthetic Research Center Digital Creative Director Marco La Mantia. Each of the 20 winners will receive a $1,000 cash prize, along with an array of honorary incentives, such as exhibition opportunities and media coverage that will further shine a spotlight on their creative talents. The winning entries will also be featured in well-loved apps such as HUAWEI Themes wallpaper or on HUAWEI merchandise which will be available to the brand’s global user base. The winners will be announced in 2025, along with an exhibition featuring the winning artworks.
Last year, two artworks from Filipino creatives made it to the Honourable Mention list. Creator Lanz Ambrosio’s entry, called “A Vintage Woman", featured a woman with a curious gaze, wearing a flower-embellished hat. The art style was inspired by a renaissance painting, injected with Ambrosio’s modern flair. The second Filipino-made piece was done by June Digan, titled “Celebrating The Year Of The Dragon". It depicted a heroine, brandishing a pencil, riding a flying dragon. Both artworks were done on the GoPaint App on the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2-inch. HUAWEI Philippines invites artists and creators to experience a different kind of digital art creation with the HUAWEI GoPaint App, available exclusively on HUAWEI flagship tablets. Create your artwork and submit your best digital creations through the official GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity page. The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2” WiFi 12 GB + 512 GB, valued at Php59,999, is available on Shopee, Lazada, Tiktok, HUAWEI Online Store and HUAWEI Experience Stores nationwide. The announcement of winners of the 2024 HUAWEI GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity and more details about the exhibition on 2025 will be disclosed in the coming weeks and months on HUAWEI Philippines' official social media accounts.
