February Diary '25
'February Diary '25' 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.
The theme this time is 〈February 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 means of recording one's life and experiences. Reflecting on them allows for an objective understanding of personal growth and change, offering new insights. Please share your stories to organize your daily thoughts and feelings.
As we realize, a month of 2025 has already passed. How many more times can we capture the winter scenery with our shutters? Whether capturing the warm moments of Valentine's Day, the lingering quiet of winter, or searching for landscapes that herald the footsteps of spring, it's up to you.
Share the photos you captured this month from your perspective with the cizucu community.
We look forward to many submissions!

The pale pink cherry trees quietly announce the arrival of spring. The casual sight of people walking with umbrellas is very everyday, making it a fitting image for the diary theme.

The rising steam and warm dishes are perfect for this time of year when the cold still lingers. Please share scenes that warm you just by looking at them.
