cizucu Hosts 'Steps of Life' Award Announcement | Challenge #213

'Steps of Life' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest curates outstanding works from the entries, aiming to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.

The theme this time was 'Each Step'.

Every step, whether it's the courage to pursue a dream, the struggles in the growth process, or the small daily accumulations, is a precious moment in life.

This time, we shared each path and each step through photos.
Your steps might inspire courage or hope in someone else.

Now, let's introduce the entries and the winning works.

People walking hand in hand with family, pausing with pets, or walking alone. Against the backdrop of the vast sea, the scene woven by each 'step' captivates the heart. Even in monochrome, it strangely shines brightly. This work gently teaches us that every day is beautiful and irreplaceable.

How was it?

A big step of courage, small steps accumulated daily, and even moments of hesitation and pause are all steps. Each step is a precious moment that shapes us.

We look forward to your works in the next photo contest!
