Lawrenceville, NJ – May 12, 2010 – Datacolor®, the global leader in digital color management technology, today announced the launch of an online photo contest called ‘Real New York,’ to be kicked off in conjunction with the 2010 New York Photo Festival (NYPH) which begins today in Brooklyn, NY. Datacolor, an official sponsor of NYPH’10, will host the VIP lounge throughout the festival.

The ‘Real New York’ photo contest invites photographers to submit examples of their work that capture the essence of the city that never sleeps, and the urban core of the metropolis that goes beyond tourist hotspots.

The grand prize winner of the ‘Real New York’ photo contest will be awarded a trip to the renowned Photokina trade show taking place September 21-26, 2010 in Cologne, Germany.
