Cizucu Hosts 'White Collection' Award Announcement | Challenge #180

'White Collection' is a global online photo contest hosted 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.

The theme for this contest was 'white'.

White symbolizes purity and silence, and it holds infinite possibilities. We are all drawn to the serene beauty of snowy landscapes, the soft fluffiness of white clouds, and white items blending into our daily lives.

We invited submissions of beautiful white moments, such as snowy winter landscapes, refreshing white clouds, animals with soft white fur, or everyday white clothing and food.

Now, let's introduce the submitted works and award-winning pieces.
