The brief is 'Visionary Art', and you can submit an original design in any or all three of the categories: Themes, Wallpapers, and Watch Faces.

Meanwhile, if you want to become a certified Huawei Themes designer, you can do so by following these three simple steps:

1. Design your Theme using Huawei's Theme Template

Here you can experiment to your heart's content, trying out different backgrounds, lock screens, text styles, icons and more. You can make it completely your own.

2. Use Huawei's Theme Tool to combine all created assets into a Theme package

Once you're happy with all the different elements, you can use its tool Themes Studio for packaging them up into a coherent Theme or Wallpaper and test how it appears on the device.

3. Last but not least, add your new Theme to the store

Upload your Theme package to Huawei's Themes Store via Huawei Developer Alliance.

The Themes Store is a pre-installed app that offers personalised themes, text styles and wallpapers to all Huawei device users. Each designer has its own page dedicated only to his works.

And voila… It is that simple to collaborate with Huawei and create your very own Themes for a worldwide audience to view and use.
