CRITICAL MASS
Critical Mass is an annual online program that makes connections within the photography community. Photographers at any level, from anywhere in the world, submit a portfolio of 10 images.Through a pre-screening process, the field is narrowed to a group of 200 finalists who go on to have their work viewed and voted on by over 200 esteemed international photography professionals.From the finalist group, the Top 50 are named and a series of awards are given, including at least one monograph each year. Photolucida publishes and distributes the award winner’s publication, giving copies of the books to all participating photographers and jurors.
ANNOUNCEMENT: We are very pleased to announce this year’s Critical Mass finalists. The pre-screeners so enjoyed looking at all of the work. The quality of the images this year was unprecedented and there were so many magnificent portfolios to choose from. If you are on the list of finalists, a hearty congratulations from all of us here at Photolucida. We’ll be sending you another email in the next couple days with instructions for moving on to the final phase of Critical Mass. If you are not on the list, know that your work was seen and appreciated by a great group of pre-screeners. We know you put a lot of passion and effort into your work and we are cheering you on from the sidelines. We wish you all the best with your photography!
