The competition features eight entry categories spanning a wide range of storytelling perspectives: Snapshot, Youth, Live Photo, Connection, Portrait, Vibe, Photo Series, and Environment, encouraging creators to capture emotion, culture, and spontaneity in their own unique ways.
Each category reflects OPPO’s belief that mobile photography is not only about technology, but about preserving authentic, emotional narratives that resonate with people around the world.
