Mission

Capturing what catches your eye as you walk through the city is a natural act for any photographer. This mission invites you to discover the patterns woven into the urban landscape and to imagine the stories that lie beneath them. Consider, for example, the cracks in asphalt, wire fences, or peeling walls—elements often overlooked in daily life. By perceiving these as 'patterns,' you are encouraged to contemplate their origins and the narratives they might hold. Unexpected stories may emerge, revealing the traces of human presence embedded in the city. The purpose of this contest is to cultivate new perspectives and imagination through everyday observation. Observe the city you usually pass by without a second thought, and uncover the patterns and stories that breathe within it. We look forward to your submissions! *Submissions that violate our guidelines ( https://www.cizucu.com/terms/guideline ) will not be considered by the curatorial jury. *Winners may be contacted by the cizucu team to confirm personal details such as address.
