Winners of the second annual Huawei Next Image Awards created some stunning images.
Huawei has just announced the winners of the second annual Next-Image Awards. The Next-Image Awards is a global competition in partnership with the International Center for Photography judged by some of the world’s foremost photography experts. All submissions were taken with Huawei devices. The 2018 Next-Image Awards competition includes six categories: “Good Night,” “Faces,” “Hello, Life!”, “Check-In,” “Timeline,” and “Storyboard.” Winners from each category were selected by a panel composed of five industry experts including Mark Lubell, executive director of the International Center for Photography, along with five up-and-coming young visual storytellers — many of whom are recent ICP graduates — as mobile photography cannot just be defined by experts, but also by a young generation who use their phones on a daily basis to take pictures to share on social media.
You can see the winners of each category after the jump.
