The Exhibition
The Foto8 Summershow is London’s greatest photographic spectacle, a veritable ‘salon de photographie’ – an inspiring array of framed and mounted images of all shapes and sizes, installed from floor to ceiling. London’s prestigious HOST Gallery in EC1 is the setting for the Summershow which features 150 images; later seen and judged by respected industry professionals from the photography, arts and media worlds. The 2011 Summershow is open from 8 July and continues to 12 August.

The Awards

This year, the ‘Best In Show’ prize of £2000 was awared to Luca Sage for his image ‘Ivory Coast, 2010’. Honorable mentions also went to Neil Hall for ‘After the Crash’, Antonio Olmos for ‘Friends of Negus McClean’ and Martin Usborne for ‘Congo’. These were awarded by judges James Reid, Emma Morris, Charlotte Cotton and Richard Billingham, with the winner notified at our Summershow Launch Party on the 8 July. The ‘People’s Choice’ award will be decided by votes from the public announced at the end of the show. All shortlisted work is included in a printed catalogue and online slideshow and are available for sale.
