Taste the Moment

'Taste the Moment' is a global online photo contest presented by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest aims to curate outstanding works from submissions, discover new talents as a platform, and support the community.

This time, the theme is 'Special Moments of Dining'.

Dining is both an everyday occurrence and a special moment for us. Whether it's a gathering with family and friends, a dish painstakingly prepared, or the excitement of tasting something for the first time, meals have the power to create memories and evoke emotions.

Whether it's a joyful moment shared with someone or a quiet indulgence alone, we look forward to seeing the special dining moments captured from your perspective.

Be sure to also refer to this magazine to generate your unique food photo ideas.

Enjoying a meal with a beautiful view is a special moment. Dining in nature makes the moment even more extraordinary. The place where you eat is also an important element that colors the meal.
