Critical Mass Juror Highlights: More New Faces!
This year, there are many, many new faces on the Critical Mass jurying team. The jury includes 200+ top curators, gallerists, photo book and magazine publishers, photo editors, and new media producers from across the globe. It’s an incredible team of passionate people. Our primary goal with Critical Mass is to maximize exposure for participating photographers. The more jurors see the work, the more likely it is that career-building connections will happen. 200 jurors? That’s a lot of eyes.
Still need to register for this year’s Critical Mass? Registration is open until July 28th.
Here are a few more of this year’s new faces:
