This year again, Huion is generously supporting Software Freedom Day (SFD) by donating a Kamvas Pro 16 (4K), a Kamvas Pro 12 for the runner up and two Inspiroy Frego M tablets for the next best submissions in our creative challenge. The challenge invites participants worldwide to create a mascot for Software Freedom Day using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Entries must be submitted by October 20, 2025, and adhere to specific guidelines, including using only FOSS tools and sharing the source files under Creative Commons licenses.

Huion’s participation highlights their commitment to digital freedom and creativity, encouraging artists to explore and express these values through their art.

Did you participate in Software Freedom Day last fall? If so, you’ve probably heard about Huion supporting the event by awarding some fantastic prizes to artists who got creative with Free Software.

Janka from Hungary took home the first prize, while Deffy from the USA and Yue from Malaysia were our talented runners-up. Congratulations to all three of you!

Missed the competition this year? Don’t worry—keep an eye on the site, as we’ll be celebrating Software Freedom Day again in 2025. And who knows? There might be exciting new challenges waiting for you!
