Monolithic Color: White Show us a color image that says "White!" Show us lots and lots of white. White on white is ideal, but make sure we can tell that it's a color image. Is your image white enough? If a viewer doesn't say "Whoa, that's really white!" then it's not white enough.

Processing rules: No borders or watermarks. • No composite images. • No artificially colored images (you really have to shoot a white subject, not just create one in your editing software). • Retouch as required, but avoid blowing out the image with curves and level adjustments (really photograph something white).
Capture date rule: No restrictions
Additional rules: Color images only, no B&W or toned images. • If your image looks like it's B&W even though it's color, include a note to that fact otherwise a complaint might be issued against your image. • Comments and questions are addressed in the Challenges and Galleries forum.

Sigma-Foveon: Portraits Show us your best portrait taken on a camera with a Foveon sensor. There are no restrictions on the type of portrait - male, female, kids, old people - anyone. The shot can be indoors, outdoors, in the studio. Formal or informal. Please read the Additional Rules. ::Most digital cameras use a Bayer sensor, which captures red, green and blue light (RGB) using a Colour Filter Array -- one colour at each photosite. The Foveon sensor captures RGB at each and every photosite. This is a very different way of capturing an image that produces pictures with great colour depth and sharpness. For more information, see: http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/key=sensors ::
