Got a moment worth capturing? The HUAWEI XMAGE Awards 2026 is officially open, inviting photography enthusiasts across Malaysia to turn everyday scenes into powerful visual stories and share them with the world.
In collaboration with Tourism Malaysia, this year’s edition amps things up through the “See, Truly Malaysia” campaign, encouraging you to spotlight the country’s rich culture, heritage, and landscapes on a global stage. Think of it as your chance to put Malaysia on everyone’s explore page.
Now in its 10th edition, the XMAGE Awards has grown into one of the world’s largest mobile photography competitions, pulling in millions of submissions worldwide.
It doesn’t just reward good photos; it celebrates creativity, fresh perspectives, and storytelling that hits different.
