“Sri Lanka is an island of unparalleled beauty where each and every one of us is presented with the opportunity to witness its splendour every day. The Huawei Beautiful Sri Lanka competition was introduced to inspire users to capture the true essence of Sri Lanka using their Huawei smartphones while also showcasing their creative talent and photography skills in leveraging the power of today’s best smartphones for mobile photography,” stated Huawei Consumer Business Group Sri Lanka Country Head Peter Liu, as he explained the big idea behind this innovative photography competition.
“Under the theme of ‘Beautiful Sri Lanka’, Huawei users are encouraged to capture the essence of life in Sri Lanka through creative photos of eye-catching sceneries, landscapes, wildlife and architecture found across the island. Huawei smartphone users can enter the competition by capturing a photo using their smartphone with the watermark and sharing it on Facebook with ‘Public’ settings with the hashtags ‘#ReWriteTheRulesOfPhotography#HuaweiSriLanka’ between the period of 28 March and 24 May. The user must also inbox the link of the photo to ‘Huawei Mobile LK’ Facebook page with his/her name, contact number as well as the IMEI number of the Huawei smartphone,” Liu added.
A panel of judges comprising of leading photographers and other creative individuals will study all photos that meet the criteria and pick the best ones. The Top 20 Photos will be shortlisted and exciting prizes, including a Huawei P30 Lite for the 1st place, 5 Huawei Watch GTs, 10 Freebuds and Consolation Gifts, will be handed out to them.
“The Top 20 winners will also have the opportunity to undergo further training in order to enter the annual NEXT-IMAGE Awards. The NEXT-IMAGE Awards are a part of Huawei’s continued efforts to redefine visual expression and culture through more professional and intuitive smartphone cameras. Having commenced in 2017, the awards provide Huawei smartphone users the opportunity to showcase their best work to a global audience. In 2018, there were over 40,000 submissions to the awards from over 130+ different countries, Liu claimed.
Huawei has been operating in Sri Lanka for over 20 years, and continue to create lasting value for customers, working to empower people, enrich home life through open collaboration whilst connecting over 70% of the 21 million population in Sri Lanka. Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications technology infrastructure and smart device manufacturer.
As the number one smartphone brand in Sri Lanka, the company launched the Huawei P30 Pro at a gala launch event held recently. The Huawei P30 Pro is equipped with world’s first Leica quad camera system, including a 40MP main camera with the Huawei’s world’s first SuperSpectrum Sensor, a 20MP ultra-wide angle camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, the Huawei ToF Camera and a 32MP front camera that takes selfies to a new level.
