OPPO Find N2 Flip Cover Screen Design Awards Announces Winners

Leading global smart device brand OPPO announces the winners of the Find N2 Flip Cover Screen Design Awards, celebrating innovation and creativity in the new-form factor design of its first Flip launched internationally.

In the Award Ceremony taking place May 9th in Madrid, Spain, the five winners receive a monetary prize and an OPPO Find N2 Flip each. “It feels like science fiction to see the first tech demos of foldable screens become commercial products, and that idea sums up why design is so important.” said Thomas Chamberlain-Keen, a concept artist and illustrator in the games industry, who becomes the Grand Prize winner, “Technological advancements are no longer aimless, instead always pushing to make those sci-fi dreams a reality.”

The Awards have attracted 350 creative submissions from 10 countries, including static and motion wallpapers, as well as design concepts for the Find N2 Flip cover screen.

A New Form Factor That Unlocks Creativity
The design philosophy of OPPO is centred around creating great product experiences that people enjoy, and the Find N2 Flip is no exception. Its elegant and smooth design, intuitive and easy-to-use flexion hinge, and great hand feel, make it stand out in the market. In particular, the large external cover screen is the perfect canvas for designers to unleash their creativity.

An Opportunity for Young Creatives to Showcase Their Skills
The OPPO Awards are done in collaboration with two prestigious academic institutions  Nuova Accademia di Belle Art (NABA), and Universidad de Diseño, Innovación y Tecnología (UDIT).

David Perez Medina, professor and director of the master’s degree in Graphic Design at UDIT is among the expert panel of jurors who selected the winners. “It was a real honour to participate as a judge in this OPPO competition,” said David. “I am delighted that young talent is being rewarded. My sincere thanks to OPPO for showing so much sensitivity and generosity towards the younger generation."

In addition to connecting to young designers, OPPO strives to stay relevant to its users and encourages an open dialogue. Therefore, the winner of a special award, the Community’s Favourite Award, is decided on the @OPPO.Europe Instagram account, allowing all users to vote for their favorite design.

Empowering the Future of Design
The Awards are not the first time that OPPO has collaborated with universities to promote young talents. Initiatives like Futureproof, an opportunity for college students to get free professional headshots to jumpstart their careers, have also been launched by OPPO. With the brand proposition “Inspiration Ahead”, OPPO keeps nurturing the next generation in fields like design, encouraging their fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.
