Frozen Sky
'Frozen Sky' is a global online photo contest presented by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. We curate outstanding works from the submissions to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.
The theme this time is ‘Winter Sky’.
In the cold winter season, the sky holds a special allure. The crisp morning air brings a refreshing start to the day, the clear blue sky spreads during the day, and at night, a serene starry sky can be observed. Each moment is beautiful, showcasing the unique charm of winter.
In this contest, express the coldness and beauty of winter skies through photography.
Any time of the winter sky is acceptable. Explore the charm of each time of day: morning, noon, and night. The winter sky is beautiful at every moment, showing its unique allure. Why not express the various stories woven by the winter sky through photography? We look forward to seeing what wonderful stories your 'Winter Sky' will tell. We await many submissions.
