Join the DIYP x INNOCN Photo Contest and Win a 4K Monitor!

We’re calling all photographers to our photo contest! We’re teaming up with INNOCN to give away five of their gorgeous 4K monitors from their Professional Color Series. So, this photo contest comes with a theme that suits the prize perfectly: color.

Whatever color means to you – a saturated sunset, a single red umbrella on a rainy street, a portrait where the palette does half the storytelling… Whatever topic you choose, show us how you use color to tell the story.

There’s basically just one rule: no black-and-white submissions. This includes selective coloring as well. Okay, okay, maybe that’s two rules.

We’re selecting two grand prize winners. And when I say “we,” I mean DIYP team and our readers! Each will walk away with an INNOCN CB32U1, a 32″ 4K factory-calibrated display built for photographers, video editors, and anyone who’s tired of squinting at an inaccurately calibrated or tiny laptop screen (like I do, sigh). Three runners-up will each take home an INNOCN 2722A, the 27″ version of the same color-accurate goodness.

Entering is simple:

• Come to the page you’re currently reading.
• Scroll right down to the bottom.
• Submit your best photo that says “color” – any subject, any style, just no black-and-white.

An important note: This contest is open to all skill levels. We wholeheartedly support beginners, and we encourage photographers from all backgrounds to participate.

Judging Criteria: Creativity, Storytelling, and Impact

Our Judge’s Winner will be selected by DIYP’s team of senior writers and photographers, and our Public’s Winner will be decided by reader votes. Both take home an INNOCN CB32U1. Three runners-up, chosen from the judged entries, will each receive an INNOCN CB27U1.

Your photo will be judged on:

• Use of color – How intentional, bold, or effective is the color story?
• Creativity – How original and fresh is the concept?
• Technical execution – How well is the image composed, exposed, and processed?
• Overall impact – How striking and memorable is the photo?

Entries close at midnight on July 27, and judging (and voting) runs for one week. Winners will be announced on August 4.

The Prizes

Our two grand prize winners will each receive a brand-new INNOCN CB32U1 – a 32-inch 4K IPS display with a 160Hz overclocked refresh rate, built for creators who want serious color accuracy without giving up gaming-grade responsiveness.

Here’s what’s under the hood of the CB32U1:

• 32″ IPS panel, 4K UHD (3840×2160)
• 144Hz native refresh rate, overclockable to 160Hz
• HDR400 support
• 1.07 billion colors (8-bit + FRC)
• 1500:1 contrast ratio, 6ms response time
• USB-C connectivity with 90W Power Delivery – one cable for display, data, and charging
• 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort 1.4
• Adjustable stand (130mm height, -5° to 20° tilt, 22.5° swivel)

That’s not all, though – our three runners-up will each also receive an INNOCN 2722A, a 27-inch IPS monitor with dual-mode switching between 4K UHD at 120Hz and Full HD at 240Hz (told you we weren’t kidding about the five monitors).

Here’s what’s under the hood of the 2722A:

• 27″ IPS panel, 4K UHD (3840×2160) / FHD (1920×1080) dual modes
• 120Hz refresh rate in 4K mode, 240Hz in FHD mode
• 100% sRGB and 98% DCI-P3 coverage
• Factory calibrated to Delta E < 1 for professional-grade color accuracy out of the box
• HDR500 support
• Dedicated Mac Ready mode for fine-tuned color on Apple displays
• USB-C connectivity with 90W Power Delivery – one cable for display, data, and charging
• Low blue light display
• 4-axis ergonomic stand (height, tilt, swivel, pivot)

So, whether you’re a landscape shooter chasing the best light, a portrait photographer who builds a shot around a single wardrobe choice, or someone who just noticed how good their kitchen looks in afternoon light, now’s your time to shine. And with a monitor like this waiting for you, there’s never been a better reason to dig through your archives for the shot where color did all the work. Or even better – get out and shoot something new.

We can’t wait to see your photos!
