Datacolor, a global leader in digital colour management technology, today announces a new and exciting competition for photographers of all ages and abilities to show off their creative skills called ‘The Real Colors of my Life’. Now open for entries, ’The Real Colors of my Life’ will be a celebration of art and amazing images submitted from photographers all around the world and chosen by a panel of passionate industry professionals.
Photographers from all walks of life can take part in this competition with the chance that their image will be one of 30 chosen for a glossy photo coffee table book entitled ‘The Real Colors of My Life’.
Christoph Gamper, European general manager of Datacolor, says: “We are looking for images of all types for this photo book – art that encompasses all emotions and feelings.

Each photographer featured in the book will get their own free copy and if chosen will need to supply the image in a high resolution format. For three winners, whose images are chosen overall, there are extra prizes. “
Entries will be accepted from now until the 31st of January 2009 and can be in colour or black and white. To enter the competition, photographers should upload their two favourite images to www.artlimited.net/....

- Third prize - A complete collection of nik software plug-ins (www.niksoftware.com/...)

Las Mariposas / Hope for Children
Las Mariposas is a children's village in Chile managed by the organisation ‘Hope for Children’, which is based both in Switzerland and Chile. In Chile, child poverty is a huge problem. Hope for Children, founded in 2002, helps to make that problem a little bit smaller by providing shelter, security, medical care, schooling and job training to some 50 needy children. Unlike other children’s villages in Chile, the children do not have to leave when they become 16, but can stay until they have a chance to make their own life.
