June Diary '25
'June Diary '25' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to all creators registered on the cizucu platform. The contest aims to curate outstanding submissions, discover new talents, and support the community.
This time, the theme is 'June Diary.'
Diaries are a valuable way to document your life and experiences. Reflecting on them allows you to objectively grasp your growth and changes, gaining new insights. Take this opportunity to organize your thoughts and feelings by sharing your story.
June, with its deepening rainy season, brings vibrant greenery to life. Capture the seasonal essence through photos of hydrangeas wet with rain, droplets on leaves, misty landscapes, or the blue sky peeking through breaks in the rain. Share moments like long, pleasant evenings or the glow of fireflies heralding the arrival of summer as part of your daily narrative.
Share the photos you capture this month with the cizucu community. We look forward to your submissions!

The sky painted by the setting sun and the quietly standing Kyoto Tower reflect on glass, creating a mysterious depth where reality and illusion intersect. Shadows of passersby emerge like fragments of time, blurring the boundary between the ordinary and the extraordinary. This photo captures the indescribable beauty and lingering impression of a June evening.

A single leaf emerges softly from the shadows, holding droplets that seem like crystallized silence of June. The only sounds are your breath and the pulse of nature. This photo gently reminds us of the rich moments flowing in places away from the bustling daily life.
