Discover New Horizon
'Discover New Horizon' is a global online photo contest organized by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest aims to curate outstanding works from the entries, discover new talents as a platform, and support the community.
The temperatures in the morning and evening have dropped significantly, and the sky is becoming more autumn-like. Students might find themselves back to the grind with assignments after the summer break.
This time, the theme is 'Your Journey'.
Of course, traveling to unknown places, taking your first drive after getting a license, or going on a first date can all be considered journeys. Even staying at home and reflecting on oneself can be an internal journey, and some may call the continuous learning to take great photos a journey.
Share the landscapes and scenes you captured during your unique journey. Perhaps stepping out with a camera or facing your inner self through the lens might be the beginning of your journey.
We look forward to many entries.

A ball that wasn't there in the morning was found in the evening.

A worn-out baseball found in the grass conjures images of many children playing nearby. It reminds me of running around the town excitedly in my childhood, and now I find myself watching over such children, realizing the journey I've been on.

The islands floating on the sea seen from the ship's window evoke excitement for the journey ahead. Have you ever snapped a photo when you saw an unfamiliar scene on your way somewhere? We look forward to receiving works that convey the excitement of travel from your photo folders.

The Namib Desert, illuminated by the morning sun, turns the sand an orange hue. Though only sand surrounds you, the patterns it creates are incredibly beautiful.

A photo of a man walking through the desert, making one wonder where he came from and where he's headed, gives the feeling of reaching the world's end in the vast desert. Photos of landscapes not seen in everyday life also make a great theme for the word 'journey'.

Is it a dream or reality? Perhaps it's a moment with a companion always by your side. Running freely through imagination or dreams can also be considered a journey.
