Introduction
'Spring Swing' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to all creators registered on the cizucu platform. The contest curates outstanding submissions to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.
The theme for this contest was 'Lighthearted Spring.'
The arrival of spring brings a light rhythm to our surroundings—flowers swaying in the breeze, children leaping, and fresh greenery sprouting. Spring is a season filled with buoyant movements.
'Swing' embodies meanings like 'sway,' 'bounce,' and 'move to a rhythm.' Capture these delightful spring moments with your camera. Whether it's landscapes, people, or animals, find the 'swing' of spring that resonates with you.
Now, let's introduce the submissions and the winning entries.

A photo of cherry blossoms. Judging by the caption, it might have been taken in the morning. The fleeting nature of cherry blossoms seems to deepen the bonds of those living in Japan.

A photo capturing cherry blossom viewing from a Jikkoku boat. Even the color of the life jackets seems to reflect the cheerful mood of spring. Next spring, I hope to enjoy such a luxurious cherry blossom viewing experience.

This photo also fits the theme perfectly, capturing a child joyfully enjoying the arrival of spring. It reminds us that simply running around in a wide-open park can bring spring into our lives.
In Conclusion
What did you think?
Seeing the lighthearted springs shared by everyone in the cizucu community made me feel a little regretful about the time I spent working indoors. Sharing a spring that can't be fully experienced alone is the joy of cizucu's photo contests. Once again, thank you for all your submissions.
See you at the next contest!
