Photographic Exhibition, Award and Print Fair
8 July - 12 August 2011 HOST Gallery
With no set theme photographers are invited to submit recent work, of any subject, style or genre, which engages or challenges the viewer, either to convey stories, raise questions or provoke feeling. Above all, we encourage free expression and are keen to see new and creative approaches that explore the realm of story-telling.
Now in its fourth year, the Summershow continues its trajectory as a consistently record-breaking event: 1000 entrants from around the globe contributed to a final count of 2,853 images to create London’s premiere salon de photographie. The successful images hang floor to ceiling in HOST Gallery for a month this summer, giving you the audience the opportunity to pick your personal favourite, which in turn may stand a chance of winning the coveted People’s Choice award – and an Olympus PEN E-P2 camera to boot. Meanwhile, our illustrious judges, Richard Billingham, Charlotte Cotton, Emma Morris and James Reid selected an overall winner, announced at the wild street party that has come to personify the spirit of the Summershow itself, with the winner receiving £2,000.
From all over the world, we bring you striking, memorable and moving images of conflict, love and death… and a hen in a purple jumper. That’s the beauty of the Summershow – the only limit is the imagination of the photographer.
The 2011 Foto8 Summershow is sponsored by Stones, Olympus, The Document Photography Award, The Frontline Clube, The Sunday Times, Metro and Redemption Brewing Company.  Foto8 and HOST Gallery, 1-5 Honduras Street, London, EC1Y 0TH, England E:
