Days With Color
'Days With Color' 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 ‘Days With Color’.
In our everyday lives, there are moments when colors catch our eye.
The white of curtains glowing in the morning light.
The red of flowers blooming by the roadside.
The orange of fruits on the dining table.
The blue of someone’s clothing, or the gradient of the evening sky.
Colors are tied to emotions and memories, adding vibrancy to our lives. Whether vivid or subtle, all colors are welcome. Beyond words, actions and movements that evoke a sense of color are also encouraged.
Why not capture the colors around you from your unique perspective? We look forward to your submissions.

Summer Cooling Blanket

This photo captures the feeling of a slightly cool blanket after waking up. The blue in this image seems to hold something more than just color—perhaps a lingering dream or the quiet start of a new day. Even the unkempt state of the blanket appears beautiful, as if it reflects the essence of one’s own life.

A box full of cherries and sunlight. It feels as though this was a gift sent to someone, and even the presence of the absent recipient can be felt in this image. The red in everyday life is so warm and slightly proud. The unpolished composition conveys the beauty of daily life.

Soft light and a yellow flower placed on a gatepost. While it’s an ordinary scene, the vibrant color makes you pause. It feels as though the temperature of the air and the flow of time are captured in this image. The decision to photograph this moment seems to have imbued the photo with a sense of intention.

Harmony

This photo seems to capture the sounds, air, and murmurs of the moment. If these objects weren’t red, perhaps the lens wouldn’t have been directed at them. This “pull of color” born from chance feels like the core of this image. It highlights the power of color to draw attention in everyday life.

The Sound of Summer.

Swirling wind chimes, faint sounds, and glass shimmering in the light—all resonate softly within this single image. It feels as though the “colors of summer” are deeply embedded here. Even actions and sounds seem to carry colors, suggesting that ‘Days With Color’ isn’t limited to visible hues. This photo gently offers a new perspective.
