vivo Malaysia has launched its “Shoot Beyond What You See” Challenge, a nationwide photography competition running from 3 to 31 August 2026 in conjunction with Malaysia’s 69th Merdeka celebration.
Held throughout Merdeka Month, the campaign encourages Malaysians to celebrate the nation’s rich diversity, heritage, and shared identity through photography. Participants are invited to capture iconic Malaysian landmarks from unique long-distance perspectives, offering a fresh way to view some of the country’s most recognisable attractions.
The challenge showcases the imaging capabilities of the vivo X300 Ultra paired with the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra. Featuring focal lengths ranging from 400mm to 8100mm, the telephoto extender enables users to photograph distant landmarks with exceptional clarity, transforming ordinary viewpoints into extraordinary shots.
Whether it’s capturing the PETRONAS Twin Towers and Genting Highlands in a single frame or photographing Merdeka 118 from a faraway location, participants are encouraged to explore creative perspectives and push the boundaries of smartphone photography.
To participate, simply visit a location of your choice, capture a well-known Malaysian landmark from a distance, and share your photo on social media using the hashtag #MyPerspectiveofMY while tagging the location where the photo was taken.
Inspired by the spirit of “One Malaysia,” the campaign aims to inspire creativity while encouraging Malaysians to rediscover the country’s iconic landmarks from their own unique perspectives.
Alongside the photography challenge, vivo Malaysia is also offering exclusive SPayLater promotions. Customers can enjoy six months of 0% instalment plans, receive a RM100 rebate with a minimum purchase of RM1,000, and take part in the Coin Bonanza promotion, where they can earn up to 10,000 coins.
These exclusive promotions are available at participating vivo Concept Stores in Penang, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Johor Bahru.

In conjunction with the Merdeka celebrations, Samsung Malaysia Electronics is rewarding Malaysians with one of its biggest consumer appreciation campaigns of the year, offering rewards and savings worth up to RM2,600.
