Capture the Future: vivo Malaysia Opens Submissions for X300 Ultra Youth Creator Awards

Officially opening submissions for the vivo X300 Ultra Youth Creator Awards, vivo Malaysia is inviting young visual storytellers to look through a new lens and capture the future. Running from 8 June to 15 July 2026 for tech-savvy Malaysians aged 17 to 28, this nationwide short-form video competition is designed to push the boundaries of smartphone imaging. Under the banner “Born to Create,” the campaign challenges a new generation to look past traditional camera gear, proving that the future of cinema starts with the device already in their pockets.

The race to the top is structured in two fast-paced phases. Aspiring filmmakers have until 21 June 2026 to submit an original short-form video over 1 minute long. Creators can frame their vision of tomorrow through three distinct cinematic lenses: Everyday Life (vlog moments and campus routines), Explore The World (travel diaries and hidden city gems), or Pet Diaries (the unfiltered antics of companion animals). From this initial pool, five elite finalists will be shortlisted and handed vivo’s absolute pinnacle of mobile innovation—the flagship vivo X300 Ultra—to produce a brand-new video for the final showdown.

At the absolute core of this futuristic movement is vivo’s heavy-hitting mobile imaging duo: the flagship vivo X300 Ultra and the accessible vivo X300 FE. Co-engineered with optics legend ZEISS, the Ultra variant is a powerhouse built for serious creators, packing a mind-boggling 200MP Portrait Mode ZEISS APO Super Telephoto Lens with Gimbal-Level OIS, full-range 4K 120fps recording, and 10-bit Log video. Meanwhile, the lighter X300 FE brings future-facing tech to everyday creators with a 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera and Dual-View Stage Video, ideal for capturing crisp concert footage and raw, split-screen reactions. To kick off the campaign, vivo even gathered young visionaries for a hands-on workshop on 4 June at JPM Museo, giving them a sleek playground of over 140 limited-edition supercars to practice dynamic tracking shots and telephoto storytelling.

Fortunately, vivo isn’t just handing out trophies; they are actively investing in the future of local talent. Beyond grand prizes like a new vivo X300 FE, a 3D2N Redang Island getaway, or a vivo Watch GT2, selected winners will be crowned official “vivo Experience Officers,” unlocking 1-Year Exclusive Access to vivo’s future devices and brand collaborations. Recognizing that next-gen creators are often balancing student budgets, vivo is also dropping a RM150 Student Exclusive Offer on the vivo X300 FE to make flagship-grade mobile filmmaking incredibly accessible.
