cizucu Hosts 'White Collection' | Challenge #154

'White Collection' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest curates outstanding works from submissions, aiming to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.

The theme for this photo contest is 'White'.

White symbolizes purity and tranquility, and it is a color full of infinite possibilities. We are all drawn to the serene beauty of snowy landscapes, the soft fluffiness of white clouds, and the white items that blend into our daily lives.

We invite you to participate in this photo contest themed around white. Whether it's the snowy landscapes of winter, the refreshing white clouds, animals with soft white fur, or white clothing and food items found in everyday life, please submit your beautiful moments of white.

We look forward to sharing works that capture the purity and calm emotions evoked by white within the cizucu community.
