Organized by OnePlus, a leading smartphone brand renowned for its cutting-edge camera technology, this annual contest provides a platform for photography enthusiasts to showcase their talent. The 2025 edition of the awards is themed "Make the Moment," encouraging participants to capture stunning visuals that reflect powerful narratives and artistic excellence. Entrants can submit their work across three compelling categories: Movement, Night and Low Light, and Faces, each designed to challenge photographers to push the limits of mobile photography.

With an inclusive approach, the OnePlus Photography Awards 2025 welcomes participants from around the world, offering separate entry groups for OnePlus users and the general public. This structure ensures that all smartphone photographers, regardless of their device, have a fair opportunity to compete and gain recognition.

Additionally, category winners and grand prize recipients will receive substantial cash prizes, flagship OnePlus smartphones, and the prestigious title of "OnePlus Photography Expert" or "OnePlus Photography Ambassador."
