Following three successive years of hosting the event, OPPO has developed partnerships with top art and design colleges and universities in more than 230 cities across more than 40 countries and regions around the world.

We want to encourage young creators to engage in the creative process of integrating tech and art, contributing to building a better world through the power of innovation.”
‘Future Renovators’ and ‘Brand Renovators’ contest categories seek creative artwork at the intersection of art and technology
Renovators 2022 continues its focus on the concept of “Art + Tech” by inviting artists from all over the world to submit their artwork under two contest categories — Future Renovators and Brand Renovators. Submitted artworks will be assessed by a panel of expert judges, which include Renovators program initiator, Vice Dean of the School of Intermedia Art (SIMA) at the China Academy of Art, renowned artist, and curator, Dajuin Yao; animation and contemporary art curator, and producer, Gerben Schermer; and independent curator, Visiting Professor of Kyoto University of the Arts, Takahiro Kaneshima.
Offering vast room for creative freedom, the Future Renovators category encourages creators to address important social issues such as smart living, sustainability, new materials, carbon emissions reduction, security and privacy, multimedia innovation, connectivity and more.
The Brand Renovators category aims to attract artwork submissions directly related to the OPPO brand. Creators entering into the Brand Renovators category will be able to choose from one of two directions — Reno Artwork and Ollie IP’s Application Design.
For the Reno Artwork direction, participants can submit ideas related to the concept, design, or application of OPPO Reno series smartphones; while for the Ollie IP’s Application Design, participants are asked to devise new creative ways of utilizing OPPO’s mascot, Ollie, or even completely refashion Ollie.
