if you're going to a contest that is jpeg only (which is mildly ludicrous, but certainly easier to conduct for a one day event), then you're going to have to pick up the techniques around a grey card and custom WB setting.

But shoot RAW anyway, so you can PP afterwards.   While APC and FF sensors can do pretty well with well exposed WA, and let the strobes do it for macro, it's still horribly limiting, or just annoying having to focus on it rather than the photography.

One other answer for blue WA shots where there's nothing to eye dropper against - go to black and white.   It's the bailout when you didn't capture any color (besides blue).

For some of us, Cuba is now off limits again, it seems, at least until our next election.
