Over the past five years, the ColorPro Awards have transformed
from a photography contest into a global celebration of diverse
visual arts. This year, the competition expands beyond photography
and videography, introducing a special award for the Digital Art
category and the People's Choice Award for the Generated Art
category. The newly introduced Generated Art category, designed to
ignite and explore the creative potential of new artistic tools,
will have its entries shortlisted by experts before opening to
public voting, empowering the ColorPro Community to decide the
winner. Meanwhile, industry professionals will evaluate entries and
determine the winners in the Photography, Videography, and Digital
Art categories.
Category winners will receive prizes from a pool valued at
approximately $24,000 USD. These
prizes include cash awards, top-of-the-line ColorPro monitors, and
a suite of products and memberships designed to optimize creative
workflows, including PANTONE and Calibrite products, a 1-year Shoot
The Frame Premium membership, and a 1-year Tinyspace membership.
Furthermore, winners will gain global exposure through ColorPro's
digital channels, award ceremonies, exhibitions, and long-term
collaborations as ColorPro Partners.
"We are excited to launch the fifth ColorPro Awards and continue
our mission to inspire and empower creators around the world. Each
year, we see astounding creativity and innovation, and this year's
theme, 'Momentum,' perfectly encapsulates the forward-driving
energy we hope to ignite in our participants," stated Oscar Lin, General Manager of the Monitor
Business Unit at ViewSonic. "By introducing new categories for
Digital Art and Generated Art, we aim to broaden the scope of
creative expression and provide even more opportunities for artists
to showcase their talents."
Notably, industry leaders SHOOTERS, PANTONE®, Tinyspace,
Calibrite, Shoot The Frame and The Design Kids will not only host
workshops and promotional activities during the awards but also
serve as esteemed members of the judging panel. This panel of
internationally acclaimed photographers, videographers, and digital
artists will review the submissions, ensuring impartiality and
recognizing excellence in artistic expression. Entries will be
evaluated based on their storytelling, aesthetics, creativity,
relevance to the awards theme, and execution.
ViewSonic also invites five advocates to share their narratives
of "Momentum." Andrea Astarita, a
renowned photographer, describes "Momentum" as "freezing a moment
where movement is captured in time, communicating the energy and
dynamism of the subject in motion." His photographs highlight how
momentum is ever-present in our surroundings.
Tim Burgess, an acclaimed nature
photographer and videographer, connects "Momentum" with the immense
energy of ocean waters. In his video, "The Great Migration," he
captures the migration of humpback whales, showcasing their
incredible momentum as they traverse the Pacific in large pods,
demonstrating immense power when they breach the ocean's
surface.
