VIVA ITALIA!

One of the most exciting aspects of Critical Mass for us has been reaching beyond the U.S. and seeing what's happening in other parts of the world. You might remember that last year we awarded free participation in CM08 to five talented photographers from Mexico. The year before it was Poland. This year, we're happy to announce six International Award Winners from Italy:

Manuel Capurso:

Chiara Cochi:

Achille Fillipponi:

Marco Lachi:

Sirio Magnabosco:

Luca Santese:

Congratulations (to the photographers, Italy, and the rest of us). And a hearty thank you to our Much Beloved and Appreciated Italian Advisers:
