OPPO and Sunburn had held a contest, before the event called ‘OPPO Sunburn Angels’. This gave female contestants an opportunity to win tickets to the Sunburn festival by uploading their selfies with the hashtag #OPPOSunburnAngels. The winners also joined the F5 Youth event and there it was declared who will go for the festival in Pune. They also have a chance to feature in OPPO’s Christmas video. Can’t remember when was the last time a brand went all out to woo the youth.
