About
Critical Mass 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 view 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 out: a solo show award, residency awards, and a top 50 group show is produced. The 200 jurors and the 200 finalists are sent a print of their choice from the print collecting initiative program. The database of Critical Mass entries is made available to entrants, jurors, and educators for teaching purposes.
