#OPPO is making a final call for entries to the OPPO imagine IF Photography Awards 2024. Since its launch on January 17, the competition has received over a million submissions from 73 countries and regions, each entry reflecting a vibrant mix of cultures and traditions worldwide.

imagine IF Campaigns: A Global Collection of Inspiring Works
Since the competition’s inauguration, OPPO has launched a series of themed activities to inspire its global users to harness the power of imagery to broaden their creative horizons. From May to July, coinciding with Mother’s Day and the onset of summer, the ‘Road to Paris’ campaign invited users to depict the elegance of mothers and the thrill of sports through their camera lenses, with the opportunity to win a place at Paris Photo 2024. The ‘In Sync with the World’ campaign sought images that encapsulated global exploration. Both campaigns have received a wide array of strong and emotive entries that promote understanding and exchange between diverse cultures.
Celebrating Cultural Diversity
Many entries submitted this year have seen participants from around the world highlighting the unique landscapes and traditions of their home countries through breathtaking photographs. From the vibrant coastal life of Rio de Janeiro to the awe-inspiring natural wonders of the Amazon rainforest, each image provides a gateway into a new world for audiences to explore.
In addition to the main OPPO imagine IF Photography Awards, OPPO has partnered with Discovery Channel to present the diversity and charm of world cultures through the ‘Culture in a Shot’ program. Launched in June in northern Thailand, the program has seen OPPO capture traditional crafts and musical instruments in a series of mesmerizing images that bring the region’s rich and vibrant cultural heritage to global audiences, promoting deeper cross-cultural exchange.
