It’s official! The Top 50 photographers for Critical Mass 2014 have been chosen. Our 200-strong jurying team completed their voting yesterday and the results have been tallied. Thank you to all participating photographers and all our wonderful, insightful jurors. There were so many creative, inventive, powerful portfolios in the mix this year – Critical Mass participants are a talented bunch!
Stay tuned – the Critical Mass awards will be announced next. Selected photographers will be awarded a solo exhibition at Blue Sky Gallery, an artist’s residency at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation’s Captiva Island Estate, and our coveted Monograph Award. The Top 50 photographers will also be included in a group exhibition at the next GuatePhoto festival, curated by Center for Creative Photography Curator Rebecca Senf. They will also be added to the annual archive on our website – a fantastic resource for curators, publishers, and new media producers across the globe. Top 50 photographers will also be included in Photo Eye’s Art Photo Index.
