Introduction
'March Diary '25' is a global online photo contest organized by Cizucu, open to any creator registered with Cizucu. The contest curates outstanding works from submissions with the aim of discovering new talents as a platform and supporting the community.
This time, the theme was 'March Diary'.
Diaries are a valuable way to record one's life and experiences. Reflecting on them allows you to objectively grasp your growth and changes, gaining new insights.
March, just before the new fiscal year, is a time when the chill still lingers, yet hints of spring begin to appear. We invited submissions capturing scenes like the blooming plum and early cherry blossoms or the lingering quiet of winter. Let's introduce the submissions and the award-winning works.

As the morning sun rises, the sky gradually colors. When the sun appears, the horses start moving slowly, perhaps feeling the warm sunlight.
It brought an indescribable feeling of happiness.

In the slightly chilly morning air, the soft spring light envelops the earth, and the sight of horses leisurely grazing spreads out. It's a landscape that makes you feel the transition of seasons filled with hope at the start of the day. A beautiful piece that captures the serene beauty of nature, worthy of being noted in a diary.

A boat slowly gliding across a pond adorned with blooming cherry blossoms under the gentle spring sunlight. The sight of a couple gently holding their baby quietly tells of a day that was ordinary yet irreplaceable. A heartwarming piece where the full-bloomed cherry blossoms seem to warmly watch over the family's future.
