X-Rite Announces October Theme for Photography Contest

X-Rite, Incorporated, the world leader in color management, measurement and communication technologies, announces the October theme for its Color Perfectionists Unite Photo Contest. Photographers and anyone passionate about perfecting color are invited to submit original photos based on the "Fall Color" theme from now through October 15th.

And through the end of 2011, monthly winners are selected by a top professional photographer specializing in the area of photography related to the theme. Each monthly winner will also be featured on the X-Rite Photo blog and will receive one of X-Rite's new display solutions - either a ColorMunki Display or an i1Display Pro - and a ColorChecker Passport, providing each winner with the ideal tools to get accurate color from their cameras and displays. The top 20 finalists each month will be featured in a monthly gallery at X-Rite Photo on Facebook and Color Perfectionists Group on Flickr.

"Through the ‘Color Perfectionists Unite' photography contest, X-Rite is on the search for Color Perfectionists from around the world to show us how much color means to them," said Mark Rezzonico, vice president X-Rite Photo Marketing.
