Gold, Silver, and Bronze Winners: Capturing Super Moments in Life
This year, 10 photographers were honored with Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards for their exceptional visual narratives.
This year's Gold Award goes to Boooya for 'Dialect – The Fading Voice,' a compelling visual project that transforms an auditory cultural crisis into powerful imagery.

The series stands out for f its conceptual clarity and emotional resonance. The jury highlighted its social importance: 'The disappearance of language is the disappearance of culture.' In recognition of Boooya's outstanding work and thoughtful artistry, the grand prize comprises USD 25,000 along with OPPO's latest flagship devices to support his creative work.

Among the three Silver Award recipients, Ray Cheung's 'Person from Another Place' captures a young girl on a bus, her distant gaze turning a fleeting winter scene in St. Petersburg into a poetic reflection on youth and solitude. Judge Tina Signesdottir Hult called it 'art,' praising its simplicity, balanced tones, and ability to convey emotion without distraction. The six Bronze Award honorees highlight cultural diversity, including Abdullah Salah's 'Timeless Framing' (OPPO Reno14 5G), which documents the centuries-old El Mermah equestrian tradition, capturing a single moment of speed, intensity, and cultural vitality.
