2023 Critical Mass top 50
“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. Currently we are pleased to award Finalists a number of Reichmann Project Grants, publicity opportunities, solo show awards and more! Historically, the Critical Mass TOP 50 Exhibition has been a constant in national and international venues, and the Monograph Award has previously been given to eighteen recipients.”
The Top 50 will participate in a group exhibition in February 2024 at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, curated by Daniel Boetker-Smith.
