HONG KONG, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, TECNO, an AI-driven innovative technology brand, officially announced the launch of the Shot On CAMON Contest 2025. The annual photography contest now spotlights the groundbreaking FlashSnap function with three submission categories, and is once again inviting smartphone photography enthusiasts worldwide to capture and share life’s extraordinary moments using the award-winning TECNO CAMON 40 Series.
Running from May 1 to September 30, 2025, participants can enter by posting photos taken with the CAMON 40 Series on Instagram using the hashtags #ShotOnCAMON and #TECNOCAMON40Series. The Shot On CAMON Contest 2025 has a $10,000 Grand Prize and generous theme-based awards with more cash prizes, smartphones and even a trip to London up for grabs!
As TECNO’s flagship AI smartphone, the CAMON 40 Series harnesses TECNO AI to deliver a seamless experience. Its innovative One-Tap FlashSnap Mode combines a high-speed shutter with the BestMoment AI algorithm, allowing users to instantly capture clear and stable dynamic scenes. Even in fast-paced environments, users can effortlessly capture professional-grade photos without missing a single moment.
This year’s contest partners once again with Amateur Photographer, the world’s longest-running magazine, ensuring expert and credible judging. With a 78% global reach among enthusiasts, its technical authority and wide appeal are especially valuable in emerging markets. A panel of expert judges from both Amateur Photographer and TECNO’s imaging team will evaluate all entries based on instant capture ability, emotional intention, use of light and color, and composition and image quality.
“Last year’s winners earned a London trip, where we witnessed the creation of many breathtaking and inspiring works,” said Nigel Atherton, the Editor-in-Chief of Amateur Photographer. “Now, we are thrilled to see TECNO bringing professional-level snapshot capabilities to every smartphone user through the CAMON 40 Series, unlocking boundless creative potential. We look forward to seeing this year’s outstanding snapshot entries from around the world.”
