The Honor 10 Global Theme Design Contest formally begins May 25th, inviting designers from all around the world to send in their thematic interface designs.
The contest provides a stage for the world’s most talented theme designers to compete and put forth their most innovative and cutting-edge mobile Internet design concepts. Designers will have the opportunity to introduce their work to millions of users speaking 23 languages and originating from all around the world.
