This was really a terrific and thoughtful review. It’s tough once you hit a point in your work to get the type of critical review that pushes you forward, and I think you guys do as good a job as I’ve seen given the format and resources (i.e. not an in-person critique or formal portfolio review). In fact, your reviewers’ suggestions on a previous project helped me be named as PhotoLucida finalist in 2016 which led to a show at the Annenberg Space in LA.!" — MIKE MAGERS Learn More About Submission Reviews  » ENTER THE EMERGING TALENT AWARDS 2017 NOW » Deadline: Tuesday, October 17, 2017
