OPPO announced the winners of the imagine IF Photography Awards 2023. Fifteen photographers have been awarded Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards, and thirty-two inspiring entries spanning eight different categories were revealed to inspire the creativity of OPPO users worldwide.
Launched on April 17, the imaging IF Photography Awards has received more than 700,000 entries from 51 countries and regions. The competition aims to inspire OPPO users and mobile photographers to push beyond conventional boundaries associated with mobile photography and unleash their imagination to create memorable masterpieces.
Celebrating the Fifteen Gold, Silver, and
Bronze Award Winners
With exceptional skill and talent showcased throughout the competition, Ahei Huan emerged as the winner of the OPPO image IF Master of the Year (Gold Award). The artist’s winning series, “Daughters of the Moon”, was selected through a rigorous process overseen by a distinguished panel of internationally acclaimed judges.

“Daughters of the Moon” includes a series of portrait photos that capture the characteristics of Yi minorities, depicting the serenity and positivity of Yi women and their ethnic fashion and lifestyle.
“What first catches my eye about this work is its professionalism,” said Alec Soth, a renowned contemporary photographic artist and member of Magnum Photos. “These images are crafted with precision and great sensitivity.”
As the Gold
Award winner, Ahei Huan will receive a prize
of RMB 160,000, a 2023 OPPO flagship product set featuring a smartphone,
headset, watch, and tablet, and will be invited to participate in the
Hasselblad Image Training Camp and signed as OPPO Photographer of the Year.
OPPO is committed to delivering innovations in smartphone imaging
technology that empower everyone to create timeless masterpieces. Its latest
flagship, OPPO Find X6 Pro, has garnered considerable acclaim among
professional photographers and photography enthusiasts since its launch earlier
this year. Notably, more than 80% of the award-winning entries were shot on
this exceptional device.
Beyond Find X6 Pro,
the precise reproduction of light and shadow on other OPPO smartphones give
images a distinct, impactful look. The four Silver Award winners have expertly
leveraged this capability to infuse artistry and imagination into their work.
They will each receive a prize of RMB 60,000 and an OPPO Find X6 Pro in
addition to opportunities for training and international exposure.
