Tender Glances
'Tender Glances' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest curates outstanding works from the submissions, aiming to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.
This time, the theme is .
Among the countless glances exchanged in daily life, there is love and kindness that cannot be expressed in words. When you approach your subject with affection, the camera captures a soft and heartwarming atmosphere.
Not only towards people, but also towards objects, landscapes, and animals, you may direct gentle gazes. Starting from Valentine's Day, this contest invites you to capture and submit the kindness and affection directed at your subjects.

The maternal instinct evoked when seeing a child's 'hand' is a special emotion for many. Gazing at those innocent, small, and fragile hands, one can feel the miracle of life.

Or, when you gaze at a pair of chairs and a table whose purpose and installer are unknown, you might imagine the story behind them, finding a heartwarming tale. Being drawn to seemingly inexplicable scenes might be because we unconsciously think of human presence.

Perhaps many people also direct gentle gazes towards their furry family members. Pets always teach us that even without exchanging words, we can express affection to each other.

The feelings you have when you re-evaluate something you've used for a long time may also be akin to kindness or affection. With the number of memories shared, there are likely many scars as well. By carefully confronting things, gentle gazes are sure to be expressed in photos.
How was it?
We hope that the gentle gazes gathered in the cizucu community will evoke emotions and empathy, touching the hearts of viewers, and making it a warm and moving contest. We look forward to many submissions.
