Absolutely. If you have taken amazing photos that are related to all 4 categories, feel free to share them all to join our contest. Make sure you use the correct hashtag for each submission.

How can I determine the category my photo belongs to?

Clearly Your Best Night
A captivating scene in low-light conditions
As the name suggests, this theme considers photos showcasing the beauty of Malaysia at night or any low light condition. It could be the best night scene or night portrait, any scene of the ambient city or of you posing with the Petronas Twin Towers beneath the stars. Discover the beauty near you safely
Clearly Your Best Portrait
Using portraiture to experiment with identity
As for this category, your photo is required to have a real person and not people that are in paintings, poster, stickers, mannequins etc. Take time and appreciate people closest to you and they just might be your muse.
Clearly Your Best Creativity
Turning the usual unusual; flipping the familiar
“Creative” is a word of endless possibilities. Take a photo of something out of the norm that puts things in a different perspective, be it a false perspective or a fresh perspective. For example, an upside-down building, or even using everyday objects at home such as a spoon or a hanger and let your imagination run wild and show us what creative means in this category.
Clearly Your Best Landscape
An inspiring landscape scene: nature or urban
Your friendly neighborhood park could also be a source of inspiration, kampung roads, ponds, forests, paddy fields, buildings, or even cityscapes all fall under this category.

Can I submit more than one photo in the same category?

The more the merrier, there’s no restriction on the number of submissions and you can upload as many as you want. Your best shots are worth to be shared, seen and even rewarded, right?

What caption should I write for my photo?

If you have a gift for writing, go ahead and describe more about your photo and why you took it, in English, Mandarin, or Malay. This may help us form a better understanding of your photo. However, this isn’t required for the submission to be eligible. You can simply use some emojis, if that’s your preference! The best photos will speak for themselves. Most importantly, don’t forget to use the hashtags! Refer to question No.6 for the correct hashtags to use for each category.

Can I upload multiple photos at once to Instagram?

Although you may upload unlimited photos, you can only upload one photo per post on Instagram. This helps us analyse and identify your submission better. But do remember, you’re allowed to upload as many photos as you would like, just in different posts.

What information should I provide after I upload my photos to Instagram?

Please fill up your personal details and submit your Instagram URL to confirm your participation:
OPPO user – https://forms.gle/GRtpamKFVdX3uQtU6
Non OPPO user – https://forms.gle/q1ZJkDd4TkG2nDQe9

As participants can join all 4 categories, it is possible to win more than one prize?

A great question, in fact you can. As we have weekly winners and ultimate winners, you can actually be both! However, if you win as the weekly winner for one week, you will not be the weekly winner again for any other weeks. Still, you do stand a chance to become the ultimate winner.

What’s the winner selection process?
