Winter Magic
'Winter Magic' 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 ‘Winter Magic’. Even the smallest moments can become special when touched by the magic of winter, heralding a season full of excitement.
In this photo contest, capture the unique beauty and mystery of winter, such as snowflakes dancing in the cold wind, frost patterns, or landscapes enveloped in warm light. Express the moments where cold and warmth, silence and joy intersect with your sensibility. We look forward to works that convey the colors, emotions, and storytelling of winter landscapes.

Winter illuminations color the town. It is said that illuminations originated from people who, once walking through the forest at night, were moved by the beautiful starry sky and tried to recreate that scenery by decorating tree branches with candles.

Jewelry ice is formed when ice from the Tokachi River flows into the Pacific Ocean and washes ashore. The drift ice created by nature under the spell of winter magic is a fleeting yet beautiful jewel.
