Huawei is among the leading pioneers of smartphone photography and it has proved this time and again with its P Series. Despite the hurdles due to the executive order passed by the U.S. President last year, Huawei has been launching new flagship phones, although in select markets. It launched the Huawei P40, P40 Pro, and the P40 Pro+ last month with a horde of exciting camera features which make it a desirable phone for many photography enthusiasts. Huawei is now hosting a global photography competition and the winners will win a Huawei P40 Pro and cash prizes up to $10,000.
Huawei is inviting "uplifting and inspirational" photographs and videos under its NEXT-IMAGE 2020 contest. There are over 70 prizes to be won in the content and participants can submit their photos or videos under six categories, such as:

- Storyteller – telling a story using a series of 3-9 photographs
There are a few conditions for the contest and the first one is that only images and videos captured on a Huawei or an Honor phone will qualify for the competition. The window for submissions is open till midnight of July 31st (UTC+8 i.e. Beijing Time) and you can head over to the microsite to submit your entries or read up on the terms and conditions further.
Top photographers and Huawei executives will be deciding the winners. There will be three overall winners and each of them will get the $10,000 cash along with a Huawei P40 Pro (8GB/256GB).
