'Water Scenes' is a global online photo contest hosted by Cizucu, open to any creator registered with Cizucu. The contest curates outstanding works from submissions, aiming to discover new talent as a platform and support the community.

This time, the theme is 'The Charm of Water'.

The emotional allure of water lies in its ever-changing nature and its ability to provide comfort and inspiration to people. Water transforms into various landscapes.

We invited submissions capturing the beauty, intrigue, and memorable moments of water, whether it's a rainy day scene, the calm surface of a river or pond, or a small puddle found in a garden.

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