World Animal Day
'World Animal Day' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest aims to curate outstanding entries, discover new talents as a platform, and support the community.
Last week, October 4th, was 'World Animal Day'. October is a month filled with various activities worldwide for animal welfare and protection. This time, we are holding a contest themed around .
The relationship between humans and animals is diverse. Some welcome animals into their families as pets, while others dedicate their lives to protecting endangered species. Regardless, all animals are companions who have shared the same earth throughout history, and knowing and protecting them is a responsibility given to us humans.
The photos submitted for this contest can capture animals close to you or wildlife. By capturing animals living in the same time and preserving them as photographs, we aim to confirm biodiversity and explore the joy of living on Earth.
Patience is especially required when photographing wildlife. Please refer to articles like the one below, and ensure that you do not threaten animals or injure yourself while shooting. We look forward to receiving many submissions.

In some regions, you can see scenes where animals support human life. This can be considered proof of communication without words. Even Santa Claus needs reindeer to deliver presents.
