Mission

October 4th is 'World Animal Day', and throughout October, a variety of initiatives dedicated to animal welfare and protection take place around the globe. Some people welcome animals into their families as companions, while others dedicate their lives to the conservation of endangered species. The relationship between humans and animals is multifaceted. Yet, all animals have shared this earth with us throughout history, and understanding and safeguarding them is a responsibility entrusted to humanity. In celebration of 'World Animal Day', we are launching a contest centered on the theme of animals. Whether your photograph captures animals close to home or wildlife in their natural habitat, we invite you to submit works that document the diversity of life and explore the joy of sharing our planet with other living beings. Photographing animals often requires patience. Please ensure that you do not disturb the animals and that you, as creators, remain safe during your creative process. We look forward to your inspiring submissions. *Submissions that violate our guidelines ( https://www.cizucu.com/terms/guideline ) will not be considered by the curatorial jury. *Awarded artists may be contacted by the cizucu team to confirm personal information such as address.
