Create your Software Freedom Day Mascot - Huion Challenge 2025

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.
