Auditions will be conducted in phases across 11 cities in India, covering about 180 colleges and 11 malls - Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Chandigarh and Nagpur. The first audition was held in Kolkata on August 16th. Participants who participate in the Times Fresh Face could attend the event through OPPO online green pass - http://timesfreshface.com. They will stand a chance to directly enter the final round. This is the first time that Fresh Face offers a direct channel in 9 years.
Sky Li, OPPO Global VP, MD of International Mobile Business and President of OPPO India, elaborated on the association, "OPPO has always been focused on offering beautifully designed phones and a flawless camera experience to the young consumers. The younger generation is more expressive be it opinions or emotions, and selfies have become one of the most popular channels for the same," said Mr. Li. "Thus with an association with Times Fresh Face, we want to directly connect with youth who are in pursuit of perfect selfies. OPPO is synonymous with perfect selfies and this association will enable us to further take the Selfie Expert series to our target audience."
With 'Selfie' being the theme, the participants across cities will be able to experience OPPO's latest camera phones in selfie booths at on site venues. Candidates would be required to take selfies by the recently launched OPPO F1s which would be judged by the jury. Participants who participate in the event through OPPO online green pass will stand a chance to directly enter the final round. The OPPO online green pass can be acquired by accessing the Times Fresh Face microsite and uploading a selfie and talent video which would be judged via audience voting. The winner of OPPO online green pass would be selected based on audience voting for the selfie and talent video uploaded by participants on the Times Fresh Face microsite.
OPPO has always made efforts in connecting with the younger generation like several college O-fan meet ups across India, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and other countries.
