Shot On CAMON Contest 2026

The contest invites CAMON 50 Series users worldwide to capture authentic moments under the theme "Seeing is Believing."

The categories

Running from May 15 to October 11, 2026, the contest celebrates real life through photography, encouraging participants to showcase diverse stories, emotions, and perspectives.

Seeing is Believing is both a creative brief for our contestants and a reminder that the most powerful images begin with real life, said Jack Guo, General Manager of TECNO. Through Shot On CAMON Contest 2026, we hope to inspire users around the world to observe more closely, express themselves more freely and celebrate the beauty of authentic moments through photography.

This year's competition features five creative categories—from raw portraits and night scenes to cultural snapshots, telephoto details, and AI‑enhanced art.

• Faces - Unfiltered - Authentic portraits that show people as they truly are
• Night - Unveiled - Capture the mood and mystery of life after dark
• Culture - Unscripted - Everyday rhythms of places, from festivals to food and candid moments
• Snapshot - Unspotted (Telephoto) - Distant details and overlooked expressions revealed through zoom
• AI - Unimagined - Start with a real photo, then transform it creatively using TECNO’s AI Gallery

Winners will receive cash prizes up to USD 8,000 (around PHP 493K), exclusive travel experiences, and global recognition through TECNO's platforms.
