March Diary '25
'March Diary '25' 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 talents as a platform and support the community.
The theme this time is ‘March Diary’.
The ‘Diary’ series is a contest where you post photos taken daily along with the day’s events, just like a diary.
Diaries are a valuable way to record your life and experiences. By reflecting on them, you can objectively grasp your growth and changes, gaining new insights. Please take the opportunity to write down your stories to organize your daily thoughts and feelings.
March, just before the new fiscal year. It's a time when you can start to feel the signs of spring amid the cold. Capture scenes colored by plum blossoms and early-blooming cherry blossoms, or photograph the lingering quietness of winter. Why not go out and search for moments unique to the changing seasons?
Share the photos you capture this month from your perspective with the cizucu community.
We look forward to many submissions!
