cizucu Hosts 'How are you doing?' Award Announcement | Challenge #158

'How are you doing?' 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 theme for this contest was 'Letters to Loved Ones'.

With the rise of social media communication, letters have come to be seen as time-consuming and unnecessary in daily life. However, the process of thinking about someone and spending your time and effort is the most important and irreplaceable thing.

Therefore, as cizucu's approach, we invited participants to express their messages through photos, imagining someone dear to them.

Now, let's introduce the submissions and the winning entries.

To the adolescent you, whose back has grown so much larger than before.

The photo is wonderful, and the caption is deeply moving. Like stacking blocks, this child will accumulate various experiences from daily life. Sometimes, what is built high may collapse, but they will lift their head and continue stacking while looking upward. This strong and reliable back evokes a sense of expectation for the future.

Spring is a great time to see such scenes. Under the sun, looking at flowers that bloom only a few days a year, while chatting about trivial matters or each other's recent news, is a luxurious time, as this photo makes us realize.

Sunlight pouring down, a tulip field, lush trees, a bench to sit side by side, a friendly adult and child. The composition builds a story of warm time spent together, leaving a lingering impression.

Such photos don't need words. They capture fleeting moments that might otherwise pass by unnoticed, but the decision to preserve them as photos is commendable.

A film photo of a grandmother. The wide composition including furniture and dishes evokes daily life, and the film's texture gently outlines the grandmother. It's unfamiliar yet somehow evokes a sense of closeness.

How was it?
When you think of a photo as a letter to someone, the emotions and thoughts it conveys might differ. Taking the time to face photos can offer new perspectives.

See you at the next photo contest.
