On November 11, 2026, the “A Heartwarming World” exhibition, a collaboration between HUAWEI XMAGE and Paris Photo, was officially opened at the Grand Palais in Paris. More than 150 renowned photographers, imaging experts, and media professionals from around the world attended the event to witness the announcement of the award winners.
Founded in 1997, Paris Photo is one of the world's most influential photography art events, attracting over 100,000 professionals and enthusiasts each year. This year, it once again partnered with HUAWEI XMAGE to strengthen the connection between people, works, and the world.
Alex Huang, CMO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, stated: "Over the past decade, we have grown alongside global creators, building an open, diverse, and heartwarming global community where people and stories connect through images."
The A Heartwarming World exhibition, marking the 10th anniversary of the HUAWEI XMAGE Awards, represents a milestone in Huawei's deepening engagement with the global imaging community. Following the success of the A Heartwarming World global tour, this exhibition carries forward the idea of conveying warmth through images. Building on last year's theme of "The World, You and Me," it underscores the interdependence between humans and all things.
As the competition celebrates its 10th anniversary, a special 10th Anniversary Honorary Award has been added to honor long-term users who have supported Huawei, and to build a bridge for more creators to reach the global stage.
This year's XMAGE Awards continue the XMAGE 100 selection process. The shortlisted works fall into three categories: Order and Precision (technology), Time and Reflection (thought), and Aesthetics and Resonance (art). A professional judging panel selected 100 outstanding works from the 820,000 entries, and then three Grand Prizes were awarded to ALI ABDUL HAMID ALARBASH, Mai Shunxi, and Wan Ben.
