Join Infinix Mobile Vlog Awards with the New Zero 40 5G

Infinix, a tech brand popular among young people, has launched the second year of the Mobile Vlog Awards (MVA) 2024 on TikTok. This global competition is designed to encourage young creators to share their unique stories through vlogging. With the slogan “Capture Your Own Story” and the theme “Your Story, Your Style,” participants are invited to create and share their vlogs using the hashtag #InfinixMVA and a specially designed TikTok filter.

This year, Infinix has teamed up with experts from different fields, including a curator from the Museum of Modern Art, an AI video mentor, and a GoPro award-winning filmmaker. These professionals will help participants improve their content. The competition offers exciting prizes like TikTok boosts worth RM43,000 and the chance to have in-depth discussions with these industry leaders. MVA 2024 is more than just a contest; it’s a movement that’s redefining vlogging and encouraging creativity.

Celebrating Global Youth Culture

At its heart, the MVA by Infinix aims to turn vlogging from a simple social media trend into a true art form. The competition, powered by the Infinix ZERO 40 5G smartphone, encourages young people worldwide to explore the creative possibilities of vertical filmmaking. It pushes them to step out of their comfort zones and create unique content, whether they’re indoors or outdoors. This initiative is all about fostering creativity, encouraging cultural exchange, and showcasing the vibrant lives of young people across the globe. By offering a platform for these creative vlogs, Infinix is helping to build a global collection of stories that reflect the diverse realities of today’s youth.

Continuing with last year’s slogan, “Capture Your Own Story,” the new theme, “Your Story, Your Style,” highlights Infinix’s goal of making it easy for young people to express their style. The theme encourages them to explore their dream locations and capture exciting stories from their unique viewpoints.

Unveiling the ZERO 40 5G: A Smartphone for Pro-Level Vlogging

In preparation for MVA 2024, Infinix has introduced the ZERO 40 5G, a smartphone built for high-quality vlogging. It features advanced 4K video recording, ProStable video stabilization, 50MP ultra-wide lenses, seamless GoPro integration, and AI-powered tools like AI Vlog. These features are designed to inspire more creativity and give vloggers the freedom to express themselves, helping them take their storytelling to the next level.

According to Weiqi Nie, Product Director at Infinix, “A product that makes it easier to shoot, create, and edit content lowers the barriers to becoming a content creator. The Infinix ZERO 40 5G is specifically designed for vlogging, with features like 4K high-definition resolution and ProStable video stabilization, which allow everyday users to create professional-quality vlogs. The seamless GoPro integration and AI-assisted editing tools not only make the creative process easier but also expand the possibilities for what creators can do.”

Meet the Judges: A Blend of Art, Trends, and Technology

The judging panel for this year’s MVA includes experts from various fields, each bringing a unique perspective that combines art, trends, and technology. One of the judges is Moritz Neumüller, a global curator of contemporary art and cultural diversity with connections to the Museum of Modern Art. He has a talent for blending different disciplines and finding deeper connections between them—a skill that will be invaluable as he helps MVA participants unlock the artistic potential of their vlogs.

Moritz Neumüller shared his thoughts on the competition: “I’m looking for vlogs that challenge the norm and offer fresh perspectives. I’m less interested in conventional content and more focused on stories that push the boundaries of what vlogging can be, highlighting aspects of life that are often overlooked. The ability to tell a story that is both visually appealing and creatively original is what will truly set participants apart.”

The panel also includes Saurabh Shukla, a GoPro award winner known for capturing the raw essence of street and travel scenes; Joan Nadal, a UNESCO member who specializes in STEM education and sustainable design; and Lake Hu, Vice GM and CMO of Infinix, who is passionate about empowering young people through technology and fostering innovation. Together, they will evaluate the entries from the perspectives of technology, humanities, and innovation, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the participants’ work.
