Night Eyes
'Night Eyes' is a global online photo contest organized by cizucu, open to all creators 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 'Memorable Nightscapes'.
Nightscapes, with their enchanting beauty woven by light and shadow, brilliantly reflect the urban glow and the mysteries of nature, inviting viewers into a world of rich emotions.
Through night scenes, capture the tranquility of nature, the hustle and bustle of the city, or the activities of people, and express their beauty and stories. You are also encouraged to incorporate expressions and techniques unique to night photography and your own perspective. We look forward to experiencing the depth of nightscapes captured through each individual's 'Night Eyes'.
The winning works will be exhibited in Kyoto Prefecture around May (6 works). Please check the notes regarding the exhibition at the bottom of this magazine.

A shot capturing fireworks launched into the night sky, a yakatabune, and the Rainbow Bridge. The beauty and vibrancy of the city at night, along with the festive atmosphere, are vividly felt. This work excellently conveys the charm and mystery of the city at night.

A shot capturing a traditional thatched-roof building in Nara Prefecture and the Milky Way. The Milky Way shines quietly, harmonizing beautifully with the thatched-roof house. The fusion of the nostalgic Japanese landscape and the grandeur of the universe is beautifully expressed, showcasing beauty created over many years.
How was it? Whether man-made or not, there are expressions that can only be seen at night. We look forward to seeing profound photos that capture their beauty and transience. We await your many submissions!
