November Diary '25
'November Diary '25' is a global online photo contest organized 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 'November Diary.'
The 'Diary' series is a contest where participants post photos taken daily along with the day's events, much like a personal 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.
As the wind grows colder and the colors of the city begin to mellow, the vibrant leaves fall, and the faint signs of winter start to appear in November.
During this time, when the season slows down and regains its tranquility, there is a unique beauty in the passage of time.
Capture the quiet moments found between the fading autumn and the approaching winter in your diary through photography.
Share the photos you’ve captured this month with the cizucu community. We look forward to your submissions!
