The four seasons
Snow, swirls of flowers, rain, leaves, sunbeams, smoke – no matter which season, each has its own dreamlike moment that makes a normal scene seem magical.
In this competition, we want to see your most beautiful and magical moments on the theme of “four seasons”. We are looking for creative approaches that showcase at least one season particularly well.
So what are you waiting for? Show us your magical seasonal moment!
