Introduction

This time, the theme was 〈nightscapes〉.
Nightscapes transform everyday scenes into magical moments. The enchanting world woven by light and shadow, the heartbeat of a city breathing in silence, and the mysterious nature blending into the starry sky all hold a special allure. Participants captured these special moments created by streetlights, neon, starlight, moonlight, or silhouettes floating in the dark through photography.
Now, let's introduce the entries and the award-winning works.
