MUMBAI: Oppo India is back with its click-worthy competition — the second edition of the ‘Photography Awards’ powered by Lumo, a rebranded version of the company’s “Imagine IF” platform. And this year, things just got culturally cooler with a brand-new category: ‘Super Culture Moment’, in collaboration with Discovery Channel.
Under the theme ‘Super Every Moment’, the contest calls on budding photographers to capture life’s everyday brilliance through the lens of an Oppo smartphone. From street snaps to cultural moments, the awards aim to blend storytelling with shutter speed, powered by Oppo’s cutting-edge imaging tech.
Oppo India head of product & digital marketing Sushant Vashistha said, “Lumo is our ode to creativity — a platform where every image tells a story, and every story becomes a moment of magic. The first edition, Imagine iF, received thousands of stunning submissions from across India. It laid the foundation for this year’s competition, powered by Lumo. This season, we aim to celebrate not just the outcome but the creative journey behind every powerful visual, powered by Oppo’s imaging technology.”
Joining the jury bench are Joseph Radhik, ace wedding photographer, and Vikram Channa, vice president of Warner Bros. Discovery, ensuring every frame is judged with both artistic depth and cultural nuance.
Nine categories including Super Snap, Youth, Me, Live, Vibe, Story, Connection, Environs and the newly added Culture, offer participants plenty of room to play. Round 1 will shortlist 50 finalists, who’ll then go head-to-head in Round 2 using the Oppo Find X8 Pro for a real-world creative challenge.
Following seven lakh entries globally in 2023 and 34,000 entries from India in 2024, the 2025 edition is shaping up to be a blockbuster. Entries are now open for Indian citizens aged 18 and above. All you need is a keen eye, a great story, and an Oppo in hand. Visit lumo.oppo.com/in to get in the frame.
