Taking pictures and focusing on the resolution one thing but as far as designing is concerned, this is an entirely new level. For this to happen, you need to be equipped with a lot of creative thoughts and a very ingenious mind to ensure that you get the best rendering design that more or less summarizes a certain event, product or service in one image.

Zink Imaging knows that a lot of things go on in the mind of anyone. While not all are great designers, their ideas are what is really important. Some do this magnificently but cannot really deliver them in the form of great catchy designs.

And perhaps for Zink Imaging, the challenge is to get those ideas and see the talented people produce the designs from the many imaging professionals via this contest that invites most professionals to share their imaging solutions in mind.

Registrations are open NOW and the Design Submissions are due on June 8th 2009. The Finalists will be announced on June 22nd and the Winners take home the booty by June 29th 2009.

Winners will win:

• First place - Option 1 - $10,000 cash prize
• First place - Option 2 - $10,000 cash prize
• Second place - Both Options - $1,000 each
• Third place - Both Options - $500 each

Rules:

• Participants can submit multiple entries AND win multiple prizes.
• A fresh perspective on printing is desired; a global perspective from both students and professionals that explores printing possibilities beyond the traditional thinking about how and where printing integrates into a person’s life.
• Entrants are challenged to design a complete ZINK-enabled product “ecosystem” that demonstrates the power of the ZINK Technology to link the digital world to the real world via a tangible ZINK Print. Entrants have two ways they can solve this challenge: 1) by creating a ZINK ecosystem that will make today’s youth crave ZINK products in the context of their digital and mobile world or 2) by creating a “ZINK World” in a context or market of their choice.
