Introduction
'Fragile Beauty' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest curates outstanding works from the entries, aiming to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.
The theme this time is 'ephemeral beauty'.
One of the roles of photography is to capture beauty and drama that can never be seen again. This contest aims to discover new photographic value by confronting the fact that all things eventually come to an end.
Now, let's introduce the entries and the winning works.

📷 SONY | ILCE-7M3
cizucu Editorial Team
A photo capturing the sleeping face of a child sleeping peacefully. Capturing the ever-growing appearance of one's child every day and every hour can be said to be a significant role that a camera can play in a world where nothing is constant.
In Conclusion
How was it?
This was a wonderful contest that allowed us to explore the role and importance of photography within the absolute constraint that we can never witness the same moment again.
See you at the next contest.
