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.

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.
