Critical Mass Top 50 Announced!

 

Critical Mass 2012 jurying is over!  Many thanks to our jurors for their time and effort, including those on the east coast who finished their jurying under very trying circumstances - we appreciate your commitment greatly!

  

We are excited to post the TOP 50 HERE!

Images from these portfolios will comprise the traveling exhibition this spring (curated by Bill Hunt, traveling to venues in the Southeast), and the book award (co-published with Kehrer Verlag) and the two solo show awards (Blue Sky and Center for Fine Art Photography) will be given to photographers from the Top 50. Announcements made in November!

Scholarship Awards Recipients + Golden Ticket Winners!

 

As part of Photolucida's non-profit mission, we are happy to extend six awards to deserving photographers to our Portfolio Reviews Event this spring!

 

TARAH KRAJNAK, AMELIA MORRIS, and ALYSSA MISERENDINO were chosen out of a large group of photographers who completed our scholarship application process.

And, as part of our Critical Mass programming, LISETTE de BOISBLANC, KURT SIMONSON, and BEN HUFF were randomly chosen from our finalist group to attend the Reviews. It is our thought that if one is a Critical Mass finalist, one's work is appropriate to the level of work expected at our Reviews event.

We look forward to having them join us here in Portland during Portland Photo Month! Thanks to all the great photographers who submitted applications for consideration.
