We just got the Sharp 70" 4K display in a few weeks ago and its pretty incredible... It's not surprising that it is the first THX certified 4k monitor. We are proud to have teamed up with Sharp for " The Art of Amazing" contest to give you guys a chance to win one.

International contest laws prohibit most companies from opening up outside their borders.. The legal fees alone to even do the groundwork to set up an international contest exceeds the budget that most companies spend on the prizes and marketing for all contests in their entire lifetime... and given how often those laws change you would need to pay that expense every time you ran a contest.

The US even is a nightmare within itself... there are some states that require you to fill forms and pay all sorts of contest filing fees if the contest is open to their residents and if you don't pay it its a criminal offence...
 
What file-format would be 'normal' to output to in 4K when you enter such a competition (or want to show it on a 4K TV)?
 
I guess I have to move only because of the competitions RED is starting/ funding ;)

We have the 70" Sharp 4K TV in a new "4K Review Suite" we have created at OFFHOLLYWOOD for cinematographers to review thier camera tests and for people to check out 4K via REDRAY. It's a fantastic monitor and it's amazing how much bigger it feels than a 65".

Almost forgot, if any one could post here all the details to enter that would be great, as ever since I turned my Facebook in to a Professional page, it does not let me "Like" other pages... :(
