In Their World

'In Their World' is a global online photo contest organized 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 'Animals and the World'.

Around us, there are many fascinating moments that become visible through observing animals. How do animals live in nature, and how do they interact with our lives?

This contest invites photographs capturing the harmony of animals with nature or their intriguing interactions with the human world. For example, wild animals playing in parks or curious moments of animals spotted in the city. Please submit your unique perspective on 'Animals and the World'.

We look forward to many submissions.

Observing birds flying freely in the sky might also be fascinating. Imagine where they come from and where they are heading. Try to envision the birds' intentions.

Alternatively, capturing leisurely cats in the city might reveal new discoveries you hadn't noticed before. Cats and dogs are particularly close to human life.
