OPPO has officially launched the OPPO Photography Awards 2025, its annual global competition celebrating mobile photography. The awards serve as a platform for OPPO users worldwide to capture and share the beauty of life through visual storytelling, utilising OPPO’s imaging technology.
Building on the success of previous years, which saw over one million submissions from 81 countries and regions, the 2025 edition features an expanded prize structure and new entry categories. This expansion underscores OPPO’s commitment to fostering creativity and innovation in mobile photography.
Pete Lau, Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer at OPPO, highlighted the company’s focus on human-centred experiences and bringing emotional depth to technology. With the new imaging technology brand LUMO and the slogan “Make Your Moment,” the OPPO Photography Awards aim to showcase story-driven visuals and empower users to capture “super moments” with their OPPO devices.
“Super Every Moment”: Transforming the Ordinary into the Extraordinary
The theme for the OPPO Photography Awards 2025 is “Super Every Moment,” encouraging participants to find and capture the beauty in everyday life. The competition includes eight categories designed to capture diverse storytelling perspectives: Snapshot, Youth, Live Photo, Connection, Portrait, Vibe, Photo Series, and Environment. These categories encourage unique expressions of emotion, culture, and spontaneity. OPPO emphasises that mobile photography is about preserving authentic, emotional narratives, and their advanced imaging technology helps transform everyday moments into brilliant “super moments.”
Recognising Global Talent with Unprecedented Scope and Scale
The 2025 awards offer larger prizes and more opportunities to win with an expanded prize pool and a wider variety of awards. In addition to Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards, new recognitions include Jury’s Choice, Audience’s Choice, Regional Awards, and enhanced Youth recognition, aiming to spotlight diverse talent.
A distinguished international panel of judges will evaluate the submissions, including renowned photographers Alec Soth (Magnum Photos), Tang Hui, Tina Signesdottir Hult, and Wang Jianjun (Hasselblad Masters), top Chinese fashion photographer Trunk Xu, and OPPO Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer Pete Lau.
OPPO Imaging: Unlocking Emotion Beyond the Lens

At the core of this is the LUMO Imaging System, which integrates advanced hardware and computational photography to deliver rich tones, nuanced lighting, and cinematic bokeh, transforming spontaneous photos into emotionally resonant stories. LUMO aims to provide an industry-leading mobile imaging experience, enabling users to capture not just how moments look, but how they feel, particularly excelling in mobile portrait photography.
