April Diary
'April 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 is a contest where participants post photos taken daily along with the day's events, much like a diary.
Diaries are a valuable means of recording one's life and experiences. Looking back later, you can objectively see how you've grown or changed and gain new insights. Please include the story behind the events and photos in the captions to organize your thoughts and feelings.
April is a season of new beginnings and hope. With warmer temperatures, you can enjoy spring outings and leisure activities like picnics and cherry blossom viewing.
