January Diary '25
'January Diary '25' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to all creators registered with cizucu. The contest aims to curate outstanding works from submissions, discover new talents as a platform, and support the community.
Happy New Year to all cizucu creators! We look forward to your continued support in 2025. This year, we will continue the series, a photo contest like a diary where you post photos and the stories behind them.
Diaries are a valuable means of recording one's life and experiences. By reflecting, you can objectively grasp your growth and changes, gaining new insights. Please organize your thoughts and feelings by writing your stories.
January is a perfect month to make new resolutions and start new things. It's also a time when you can perceive various things freshly when you go out into the city. Let's share the events and changes in feelings of January with the community.
We look forward to many submissions!

January is also a month when you can beautifully capture the starry sky. By moving away from the city center and immersing yourself in nature without artificial lights, you can capture the magnificent night sky.
