Introduction
'September Diary' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest aims to curate outstanding works from submissions, discover new talents as a platform, and support the community.
This time, the theme is 'September Diary'.
The 'Diary' series is a contest where participants post photos taken daily along with the day's events, much like a diary.
Diaries are a valuable way to record one's life and experiences. Reflecting on them allows for an objective view of personal growth and change, providing new insights. Please share your stories to organize your daily thoughts and feelings.
Now, let's introduce the submissions and award-winning works.

Perhaps this was taken from a ferry. A seagull is resting. It evokes a sense of calm and leisurely time, reminiscent of the end of summer. Did you manage to take a break?

I've never seen such a kind shutter. It seems the photographer chose the dead-end path. When in doubt, choose the interesting path. It might be a small difference, but it's worth treading your own path.

Early September in Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture. As trucks and workers involved in reconstruction leave, the sound of insects shifts from day to night. The crimson sunset hinted at the early arrival of autumn in Tohoku.

This photo beautifully captures the intersection of summer and autumn. Knowing we are connected under one big sky allows us to think more about people far away.

This witty photo makes it seem like the dog and the Statue of Liberty are synchronized. Alice, you're a great model. We are captivated by the humor that only a camera can capture!

Local Autumn Festival

cizucu Editorial Team
This month's award-winning work captures the scene of an autumn festival. The sparks, known as Mikuni Fireworks, are said to represent the seasons. Such festivals might not emerge from modern ideas, but the most charming part of long-standing traditions lies in their unique ideas.
In Conclusion
How was it?
We saw many works that embodied September. The captions you provided were also a joy to read. It might be fun to occasionally look back at the diaries of fellow cizucu creators who share the same time.
See you at the next contest!
