Oppo Renovators 2021: Competition for Young Creators, Artists Unveiled

Leading global smart device brand OPPO is giving artists and young creators an opportunity to imagine the future with art and technology through the 3rd edition of its Emerging Artists Project. 

Being a competition for art and technology lovers around the world, OPPO Renovators 2021 will build an active community through which emerging artists can seek guidance and inspiration from renowned artists, showcase their work on international platforms, and have access to once-in-a-lifetime career opportunities.

OPPO Renovators 2021 encourages young creators to unleash their creativity and imagine the possibilities of technology through art. As the program’s brand initiator, William Liu, Vice President and President of Global Marketing at OPPO, said, “OPPO has always believed in the power of the young generation and wants the world to witness the brilliance of creative young artists. The next inspiration that changes the world could come from the youth of today, and we want to do all within our power to spur this creative thinking.”

The theme for this year’s Renovators program is Light. As a source of energy on earth and an essential part to most life, light has always been used to symbolize expressions of positivity, such as love and hope. With the warmth and illumination of light, OPPO hopes to create a sense of calm and optimism, encouraging young creators to break through the boundaries of art and ignite their creativity.
