Spring Landscape

'Spring Landscape' 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.

This time, the theme is 〈Spring Landscape〉.

Spring is a quintessentially Japanese season and may be the most uplifting time of the year for creators capturing landscapes.

We are seeking photos that capture landscapes evoking the essence of spring for this photo contest. Submit works that capture the scattering cherry blossom petals, the dazzling greenery of trees, or landscapes bathed in spring light.

Let's share the charm of spring through photos that convey its gentleness, vitality, and the sense of new beginnings. We look forward to many submissions.
