Critical Mass is an annual online program carried out by Photolucida that makes connections within the photography community. Photographers are invited to submit a single portfolio comprising seven to ten images. The field is narrowed to a group of 200 finalists who go on to have their work viewed and voted on by international photography professionals. From the Finalist group, the Top 50 will be announced in late September. They will be featured in a group exhibition at the Los Angeles Center of Photography (LACP) from June 3 through July 17, 2027. A list of reviewers, as well as additional awards and opportunities for the Top 200, may be seen at https://www.photolucida.org/critical-mass/awards/.
