OPPO has always been known for great phone cameras that put the power of advanced photography into the hands of mobile phone users. The company has now announced the commencement of the Imagine IF Photography Awards 2023 – a mobile photography competition that aims to transcend the conventional boundaries of creativity and expression in the visual arts. The slogan “Beyond the Image, Beyond Imagination” represents OPPO’s dedication to advancing progress through technological innovation and fostering the creativity of individuals worldwide. OPPO’s cutting-edge mobile photography technology caters to non-professional users, allowing them to unleash their maximum aesthetic potential and create timeless works of art.
The awards offered by OPPO serve as a testament to their unwavering dedication to motivate mobile photographers. The OPPO Imagine IF Master of the Year (Golden Award) stands out in the industry for its substantial prize of $23,000, the opportunity to participate in the esteemed Hasselblad Image Training Camp, and the chance to showcase one’s work in international photo exhibitions. In addition to this, there are four Silver Awards ($8,000) and ten OPPO Bronze Awards ($3,000), each of which comes with attractive prizes and valuable opportunities for training and exposure.
OPPO has formed an esteemed panel of judges for the competition, comprising world-renowned photographers with diverse perspectives and extensive experience. The panel includes Alec Soth, a member of Magnum Photos and one of the most renowned contemporary photographic artists.
