Introduction
'Night Eyes' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest curates outstanding works from submissions, aiming to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.
The theme for this contest is 'Memorable Night Scenery'.
Night scenery, with its enchanting beauty woven by light and shadow, magnificently reflects the brilliance of cities and the mysteries of nature, inviting viewers into a world of rich emotion. This time, many works capturing the depth of night scenery through each individual's 'Night Eyes' have been gathered.
The winning works will be exhibited in Kyoto City. Exhibition information is also provided at the end of this magazine.
Now, let's introduce the award-winning works.

The beautiful night view of Minato Mirai is famous, but the new perspective capturing the skyscrapers, red brick warehouse, and luxury cruise ship in one frame was impressive. The delicate reflection of the colorful lights on the sea surface enhanced the depth and brilliance of the photo, leading to its selection.

The grand fireworks launched from a theme park surrounded by nature were breathtaking. The fireworks' overwhelming presence, making the Ferris wheel and roller coaster appear small, was beautifully captured in this single frame, leading to its selection for the surprise and emotion it evokes.

This is not a shot anyone can take just by visiting the location; it is a miracle shot born from the photographer's skill and experience. Capturing the moment when mist enveloped the breathtaking scenery created by nature, it was selected for its especially beautiful and impressive quality.
