February Diary
'February Diary' 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 'Diary' series starting this month is a contest where daily photos are posted like pages of a diary, along with daily events.
Diaries are valuable tools for recording our lives and experiences. Looking back, they allow us to objectively see how we've grown or changed, and gain new insights.
By including the day's events or the story conveyed by the photo in the caption, it helps organize thoughts and emotions.
In the 'Diary' series, a story is woven through the recording of everyday moments. This contest emphasizes being a part of your daily life. Your unpretentious photo will grace the pages of this series' story. We look forward to many submissions.

February is a season where you can particularly discover the charm of winter. Behind a beautiful photo taken under the cold sky during a trip, there must be emotions and experiences unique to that moment. By recording the day you went out to take photos, you can preserve those memories in an album.

Encountering 'questions' in daily life is an opportunity to re-examine our way of thinking and perception of the world. By asking 'what' and 'why', our observational skills are honed.

Or perhaps, a day may come when you make a new discovery in the ordinary cityscape. Whether that moment is orchestrated by fate or just a coincidence, recording the day of discovery can pass the baton of inspiration to your future self.

Personal diaries are also very welcome. Some people have their own creativity and preferences within their daily routines. Paying a little attention to trivial things and jotting down your feelings at that moment is said to have a meditative effect. Use the 'Diary' series to create a few minutes a day to reflect on yourself.
How was it?
In fact, you can write a diary from various angles. Don't overthink it, just jot down your feelings and stories when you took that photo. We hope that daily life is shared within the cizucu community, deepening the understanding of photography. We look forward to many submissions!
