Xiaomi has disclosed via a teaser that it will soon launch another round of photography challenge for Mi fans around the globe. The first official Xiaomi Photography Challenge was held in 2017 and saw more than 13,000 participants from around the world contend for the total prize of $30,000. Xiaomi again held a more elaborate photography challenge last year with budding mobile photographers using Xiaomi smartphones to snap iconic photos from around the world. The prize winners went home with a total of US$50,000, with the first prize winner pocketing $10,000 USD.
Although details are yet to be revealed as to when the contest would commence and other modalities, the accompanying post hints that this time around the winner gets to win the flagship Mi 9 and much more.
Xiaomi has over the past few years focused on improving the camera setup of its smartphones. If you wish, you can regard its towering ranking on DXOMark as evidence that the company’s efforts are yielding results. Apart from that, the camera samples from the different Xiaomi models cutting across mid-range to flagship models have often been spot on. Here are some of the winning entries from last years competition.
