Prizes for November's 'Landscapes' theme include an i1Display Pro and ColorChecker Passport

ELMSFORD, N.Y. -- Oct. 21 -- X-Rite, Incorporated, the world leader in color management, measurement and communication technologies, announces the November theme for its Color Perfectionists Unite Photo Contest. Photographers and anyone passionate about perfecting color are invited to submit original photos based on the "Landscapes" theme from November 1st through November 15th. Voting will take place Nov. 16 through 30 and the winner will be selected from the top 20 finalists determined by the number of votes for each photo.

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. "And with monthly themes that have changed every month bringing us to the final two themes -- 'Landscapes' and 'Celebrating Family' -- we are really looking forward to seeing the images that will be submitted through the end of this contest later this year."
