Yes. All works submitted for GoPaint must be paintings created using HUAWEI tablets. There are no restrictions on the painting creation time or the specific models of HUAWEI tablets used.
5. What are the specific requirements for the submitted work?
The work must be in either JPG or PNG format. The image resolution should be equal to or greater than 300 dpi. The size of each individual work must not exceed 20 MB. Additionally, when uploading a work, you are required to provide a text description for each work, consisting of 30 to 80 words.
(The staff will verify the device used for creating the work by examining the EXIF information. Therefore, it is recommended that you preserve the EXIF information of your work. Also, participants might be required to provide other supporting evidences such as, screenshots showing the submitted artwork draft layer or screen-recording of the submitted artwork illustration process.)
6. Is there an upper limit on the number of works that each participant can submit?
There is no such limit on the number of works. Posts containing any pictures or videos related to the same work will be considered as a single submitted work.
7. How can I determine the appropriate category for submitting my work?
Before participating in the activity, it is important to carefully review the interpretation of each category and submit your work to the category you consider as most suitable.
Culture
Culture is the calling of each creator, the essence of our soul, the place where life experience meets inspiration, and possibilities are endless.
City
We spend much of our lives in concrete jungles of our own making. If the world is a blank canvas, its cities are the lines, dots, and brushstrokes that give it color.
Character
We are nothing but people around us. The everyday acts of kindness, bravery, love, and resilience we witness are the sustenance that gives our lives meaning and purpose.
8. Can I submit my work to multiple categories or different activity areas?
Yes, you can. However, each individual work will be treated as a single entry, regardless of the number of categories or areas it has been submitted to.
9. What additional information do I need to provide when submitting my work?
When participating in the activity, it is necessary to provide a textual description for each submitted work to introduce it. During the assessment process for selecting shortlisted works, we may reach out to you via private messages on the platform to verify the authorship of the works and ask whether the works have been created using HUAWEI tablets. This is done to ensure that the works meet the specified requirements.
If your work is shortlisted, we will request your email address via a private message in order to inform you about subsequent award-related matters. To protect your rights and interests regarding your work, please make sure that the contact information you provide is correct and accurate. Otherwise, we may not be able to verify your work and identity and therefore cannot complete assessing, awarding, or prize distribution process for your work.
10. Where can I view my submitted works?
You can log in to the platform where you have submitted your works and access the personal account screen to view the status of your submitted works.
11. How will assessment be performed?
All works submitted by participants will undergo a review process conducted by the staff. Only those works that have successfully passed the review will be eligible for the award assessment process. Upon reaching the deadline, the organizer will select approximately 100 works as the shortlisted entries for the final assessment phase globally. The final award-winning works are subject to the results publicized by the organizer. Ensure that your work has been successfully published when participating in the activity. Any work that has been deleted or has not been published successfully cannot be traced during the statistics collection process. Participants shall assume full responsibility for any losses and consequences that may arise as a result. HUAWEI reserves the right of interpretation in relation to this activity.

14. What precautions should be taken regarding the submitted works?
Participants in the activity must ensure that their submitted works have never been used for commercial purposes or licensed to any third party for use. These works must be solely created by the participants, without infringing upon the works of others, and the copyright of the works shall remain with the participants themselves. (If the works incorporate non-original material elements, participants must obtain the necessary permissions to use such material elements.) In the event of a copyright dispute arising during the collection or commercial utilization of the works, the participants in the activity shall be held legally liable and shall return any incentives received from the activity.
