OPEN SUBMISSION FOR FOTO 8 AWARD EXHIBITION

Enter your work for a chance to be exhibited in London’s prestigious HOST gallery and to be awarded Best in Show.

After the enormous success of the previous years’ Summer Shows, Foto8 and HOST Gallery are pleased to announce the call for entries for the third-annual Foto8 Summer Show: a photographic award, exhibition and print fair. The show will follow in Foto8’s tradition of supporting and encouraging work by contemporary and independent photographers.

The Entrants
The 2010 Summer Show is open to all photographers from 29 March. Details on how to enter your work will be available soon. Deadline for all entries is 31 May 2010.

The Exhibition
The Foto8 team including 8 Magazine and HOST gallery editors will choose over 150 images to be displayed at HOST from 26 July – 4 September, to create an inspiring variety of framed and mounted images of all shapes and sizes, installed from floor to ceiling. All works included in the show will be available for sale. The print exhibition will kick-off with live music and a street festival taking over Honduras Street, EC1 on Friday 23 July.

The Awards
Once the show is up, an expert team of judges will choose their favourite photograph to be named “Best in Show”. This will be announced during the fourth week of the show and the winner will be awarded £1500. A second award, “The People’s Choice” will be decided from the votes received in the gallery during the show, and presented with a prize of photographic kit.
