This is not the first time we have written about dedicated photography competitions to the smartphone ! After all, the potential of these small devices has grown in many respects, including the ability to capture photographs that have an impact on the public (and is perhaps one of the reasons for the decline in camera sales). the Chinese manufacturer vivo announced the winners of the contest VISION + Mobile Photography Awards 2020 born with the collaboration of National Geographic .
winners of the vivo VISION + Mobile Photography Awards 2020
As reported by vivo , i VISION + Mobile Photography Awards 2020 attended by well 135 thousand users from nine countries including the United Kingdom, France,
Spain, China and Vietnam. The photos were then evaluated by high-caliber judges: just think that the jury were present Steve McCurry and Michael Halsband . In the end they remained 37 between photographs and videos that made up the gallery that you find below (the videos are available directly on the linked site).
The Chinese won Zhang Yu , which was awarded the title of Picture of the Year with his shot. The title of the photograph is daily Life of Four “Big Mouth Monsters” and wants to bring a message of hope after a difficult 2020, according to the words of Yu . It is unclear why children speak of “wide-mouthed monster” but there seems to be some correlation with the gesture of putting hand and arm under the shirt making them come out of the collar.

This photograph shows three friends chatting beside a burning bonfire on a dark night.
