Live with Camera
'Live with Camera' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest aims to curate excellent works from the submissions, discover new talents as a platform, and support the community.
The theme this time is ‘Living with the Camera’.
On March 19, 1839, Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre invented the camera. For 185 years, many have walked through life with a camera.
Express the joy, inspiration, and surprising moments found through a life with a camera. Whether it's the beauty of nature, the smiles of people, the hustle and bustle of the city, or family bonds, the genre is open. It's also a chance to revisit photos taken in the past, in addition to recent ones.
We have prepared a 'Lomography Diana F+ Camera & Flash' (medium format film camera) as a reward! This time, as the cizucu community, we aim to celebrate the birth of the camera and share the joy of living with it. We look forward to many entries.
Additionally, as a contest participation benefit, we are running a campaign where you will definitely receive a 250 yen reward for submitting 10 works.
About the 10-Submission Campaign
Within 'Spring Melody', all creators who submit 10 works will be awarded 250 yen in credits. Please be sure to read the following notes.
- Submission of 10 works is required. Please complete the seller registration and be sure to turn ON 'Submit to Marketplace' when entering the contest.
- Credits will be awarded after the contest ends.
