X-Rite Inc., Grand Rapids, Mich., is launching a global contest for its ColorChecker product, a checkerboard array of 24 scientifically prepared colored squares that match the colors of natural objects under any illumination and with any color reproduction process. "Where in the World is your ColorChecker?" recognizes the best or most original photos using ColorChecker. The contest runs through Dec. 10, when a panel of industry experts will judge all submissions, selecting 10 top photos to award and post online. The company will give away 100 Mini ColorCheckers daily and chances to win either an X-Rite i1Display 2 or a X-Rite ColorMunki Photo.
