Touch of Warmth
'Touch of Warmth' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any 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 ‘Warmth’.
As snow begins to fall across the country and the winter chill deepens, we naturally seek warmth during this season.
Show us the warmth you perceive through your photos, whether it's a moment at the family dinner table, the soft glow of candlelight, or the smile of a loved one.
Various forms of warmth will surely fill someone's heart, making this winter gentler and more fulfilling. We look forward to many submissions!
