Turn Back
'Turn Back' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest aims to curate outstanding works from submissions, discover new talents as a platform, and support the community.
The theme this time is 'Places You Want to Return To'.
There are places where you feel relaxed and your true self emerges when you return. Places where you feel a special connection or places that appear in your dreams without reason. Sometimes, places and hearts are deeply connected, and a seemingly ordinary place for one person can be special for another.
It could be the natural beauty of mountains or the sea, a familiar shop, or perhaps the tatami room in your family home. Capture your special place and describe in the caption why it is special to you.

When you encounter dynamic nature, whether from awe or inspiration, the scenery can remain vividly in your memory. The natural landscapes shaped over long periods remind us that we share this earth together.

Returning to the local station you frequented during your school days can stir memories and excitement. Places where you spent a long time often have invisible time capsules buried within them.

Sometimes, even a seemingly insignificant shop you visited only once can stick in your memory. Meeting someone at a bar during your travels can make that journey unforgettable.
How was it?
