Your Photo in the Fantastic FOTO8 Summershow - LastChance!

The FOTO8 Summershow 2012, the UK's only open-entry, annual photography show is centred around the premise that ourphotographs can provide compelling and powerful ways of seeing the world and create debate over what makes a greatphotograph.

Images from crumbling Syria to thebedrooms of Bournemouth are justsome of the photographs beingsubmitted into the competition fromaround the world. Casual 'snap happy'photographers have as much chanceas being exhibited alongside artistsand professionals from around theworld - the only remit is that theimages should provide a window onlife, convey powerful stories andevoke questions. The deadline forentries is 15 May. [See entry detailsbelow].

In excess of 3000 images from allcorners of the world are entered,some 150 will be carefully selected fordisplay in the Summershow andoffered for sale. A panel ofinternationally respected judges,including for 2012, BAFTA awardwinning artist/photographer AlisonJackson; Simon Roberts, one of the

highest regarded documentary photographers of the new generation artists; Gerry Badger, foremost UK photo historian andcommentator who wrote "the" book on photography; Phil Coomes, the BBC's director of online photography and Ossian Ward,arts editor of Time Out, will select an image to be Best in Show for which there is a £2,000 prize. The winner will be announcedat the FOTO8 Summershow party, on 6 July when the photographic community come out to party at a huge street celebrationwith more than 600 revellers taking over Honduras Street. The show opens to the public on 7 July 2012.

To stimulate debate over what makes a great photograph, FOTO8 asks visitors to vote for their favourite image over theduration of the exhibition. The image with the most votes receives the Peoples' Choice Award announced two weeks prior tothe close of the Summershow.

This year's Summershow benefits from newly refurbished premises. The FOTO8 gallery, previously known as HOST Gallery,has been significantly expanded and will provide increased gallery space for 2012.

"The opportunity to capture an image that dramatically communicates a moment in time is no longer just the reserve of theprofessional photographer. The FOTO8 Summershow celebrates this fact by asking everyone to put forward a picture and indoing so create an exhibition that holds a mirror to society and the lives we live now. The Summershow is also a recognisedplatform for new talent and a unique canvas for evolving photographic styles. This makes it hugely popular with photographycollectors and enthusiasts alike" Jon Levy, FOTO8 Founder and Co-Director"Anyone can take a picture but the fun and interest is exploring what makes a great photograph. What is so exciting about thiscompetition is that it does just this by being open to everyone across all subject matter. Choosing just one image to win iswonderfully provocative and I am very much looking forward to taking part as well as seeing the new talent coming through."Alison Jackson, photographer and FOTO8 Summershow Judge 2012

Zijn dit land en de rechtsstaat er beter aan toe nu, naaralle waarschijnlijkheid, de twintigjarige Parwais Sangarivanochtend op een vliegtuig naar zijn geboorteland Af-ghanistan is gezet? Alle bevoegde instanties, inclusief destaatssecretaris en het Europees Hof voor de Rechten vande Mens, zijn van oordeel dat hij geen recht heeft op onsgrondgebied te verblijven. Zo is de wet en wetten zijn erom toe te passen, anders heerst er willekeur.Maar willekeur heerst er ook als in sommige, op het eer-ste gezicht vergelijkbare, gevallen een oplossing wordtgevonden en in dit geval niet. Enhoe samenhangend is een be-leid dat een minderjarige eerstopneemt, zich laat integreren,een opleiding geeft en een baanlaat vinden en vervolgens tochoordeelt dat het allemaal maarschijn was?Zolang de asielprocedure voorveel nieuwkomers feitelijk deenige weg blijft om een ver-blijfsvergunning te bemachtigen zal het dilemma blijvenbestaan: Enerzijds kunnen we geen politiek van opengrenzen voeren. Anderzijds kwelt het ons geweten als ie-mand wordt weggestuurd die een gezicht heeft en dusgeen cijfertje in een statistiek meer is.Het monopolie van de asielprocedure verziekt alles. Hetzet er inwijkelingen toe aan de reden voor hun komst zobedreigend mogelijk voor te stellen. Dat creëert een sfeervan permanent bedrog. Wie kan het een aanvrager tenkwade duiden dat hij zijn verhaal aandikt of desnoodsverzint? Maar het systematische misbruik leidt tot de ver-strakking van de regels en de rigiditeit in de toepassingervan. Zo kan het niet verder.We moeten leren leven met de realiteit dat we een immi-gratieland zijn geworden en nog lang zullen blijven. Daarzijn twee redenen voor. De vergrijzing dwingt ons om ar-beidskrachten in te voeren. En de drang van miljoenenom een beter leven te zoeken als de mogelijkheid daar-voor zich aandient, zal niet afnemen. Die realiteiten lou-ter willen kanaliseren langsheen de asielprocedure isethisch een doodlopende straat.Het alternatief is echter evenmin vrij van morele dilem-ma’s. Ook landen die zich openstellen voor economischeimmigratie zijn verplicht de instroom te regelen. Ze stel-len niet de vraag: waarvoor ben je op de vlucht? Maar:wat heb je ons te bieden? Een jongeman die van aanpak-ken weet en, zoals Parwais Sangari, heeft geleerd te las-sen — een knelpuntberoep nota bene — zou er op die basisbij horen. Iemand met de verkeerde leeftijd, onvoldoendebekwaamheden of andere handicaps blijft in de kou.Die weg opgaan lost niet alles op. Maar het is wel de wegvan het realisme. Het legt een band tussen rechten enplichten en haalt het migratiedebat uit de sfeer van emo-tionaliteit. Dat we vandaag moreel gekweld zijn, komtomdat we Parwais niet op die grond hebben beoordeeld.

>14 Precies een jaar geleden werd Zuid-Sudan onafhankelijk. Na decenniastrijd was er toen hoop en euforie.

Vandaag heerst er oorlogsstemming en fatalis-me. Het land leeft nog steeds op voet van oorlogmet buurland Sudan over de betwiste olierijkegrensstreek. Bovendien groeide het land uit toteen van de meest corrupte staten van Afrika.

Bring me home, please

Foto8 is my go-to gallery for documentary and photojournalism. Whatever they haveup, i go and see it. Right now, the gallery is presenting the 159 photo works selectedfor its fifth annual Summershow. There are portraits of homeless people, ofPalestinian girls dreaming of peace, documentation of the Libyan civil war, storiesfrom the war, stories from some of the coldest parts of the globe, disorder in thestreets of London. Mundane moments and dramas.

The public is invited to vote for their favourite image. My favourite is the lion behindbars from Felicity Crawshaw's Captivity and Rescue series. But i can't bear to watchthe image again nor read the story associated to it.

So no photo of the lion in this post, just this quick selection:
