South San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 24, 2010Unified Color Technologies, the experts in true color high dynamic range imaging (HDR), today announced the Unified Color “True Vision HDR Photo Contest.” Photographers of all experience levels are invited to submit their finest images created using Unified Color Technology’s HDR PhotoStudio software, the only HDR application that edits images in the full 32-bit color spectrum. Contest participants have a chance to win prizes totaling more than $30,000 including a Grand Prize of a photo workshop through National Geographic Expeditions and a 15-inch MacBook Pro.

Unified Color’s True Vision HDR Photo Contest will award the most creative and technically beautiful HDR images. Judged by a panel of HDR experts and renowned photographers, the contest will be held in three cycles throughout the year with the grand prize to be selected at the end by public voting. There is no limit to the number of images a photographer may submit and no purchase is necessary to participate. Starting today, photographers can submit their images in one of three categories, architecture, nature and “freestyle,” on http://www.unifiedcolor.com/contest.

“Photographers rely on dynamic tones and colors to tell a visual tale that captivates their audience. HDR PhotoStudio empowers photographers to unlock the spectrum of color to create photos more true-to-life than ever produced,” said Alfred Zee, CEO, Unified Color Technologies. “The Unified Color True Vision HDR Photo Contest will highlight some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes, breathtaking architecture and everything in between. We are excited to celebrate the increasing popularity of HDR photography and reward photographers for their creativity and technical acuity.”

How It Works
Using HDR PhotoStudio (a free download available at http://www.unifiedcolor.com), photographers create their HDR images and submit the .BEF file (HDR PhotoStudio native format) for consideration to http://www.unifiedcolor.com/contest-submit-photo. Images can be submitted in one of three categories: nature, architecture or “freestyle,” an open category for any image that does not qualify for one of the other categories.

Awards and prizes will be presented in each category three times throughout the year followed by a grand prize announced on December 1. All the winning images from the three cycles will be considered for a grand prize which will be decided by public vote.

The first round of awards will be announced in mid-May and entries should be submitted by May 12, 2010. Photographers are encouraged to submit as many images as they like. There is no entry fee to participate.

Prizes
Three first place winners (one per category) will each receive a photo prize pack valuing nearly $2,000 including a Nikon D90 kit, Gitzo carbon fiber tripod, the new Lowepro Slingshot 202 AW and a Lexar Professional Class 10 8GB SDHC. Additional individual prizes including X-rite Color Munki, ColorChecker Passport, B&H gift cards and free copies of HDR PhotoStudio will also be awarded as honorable mentions in each cycle. Prizes for cycles two and three will be announced at the start of the entry period.
