OK, camera junkies, here's your chance to win a boatload of color-calibration tools from X-Rite, maker of the venerable, well-respected ColorChecker. The company is hosting a photography competition dubbed "Where in The World is your ColorChecker?," and the rules are simple: Take a photo with an X-Rite ColorChecker someplace interesting, register your photo via the link below and then upload it to the contest's Flickr group. X-Rite will award the top ten images prizes ranging from, $100 Huey monitor calibrators to the $1,495 i1XTreme color management suite. The winners will be judged by a panel of four world-renowned photographers who are looking for "creativity and uniqueness." The contest ends December 10th. (Man, do I wish I had a picture of the ColorChecker and the Montalk Monster!)

Start the submission process here!

If you're new to the X-Rite ColorChecker, this video demos one of its many uses. Long story short, before you shoot an important picture, snap off a shot with the ColorChecker in the spot of the picture that is your focus, and later in Photoshop you can use the checker to reference all your colors for accurate and tasty images.
