Last Updated Thursday, 15 May, 2008
SHOWstudio partners with NIKE to challenge established and emerging artists, designers and creatives to devise new work inspired by the relationship between art and football.
A team of 11 selected artists from around the world, including Gareth Pugh, Alice Hawkins, Sølve Sundsbø and Rebecca and Mike, have been invited by SHOWstudio and Nick Knight to create new artwork that represents ‘the art of football’. The results will be shown at a prestigious exhibition in Basel during the city’s art fair in June 2008, coinciding with the launch of the European Football Championships. As an additional incentive, one final winner's work will be featured on a new, limited edition series of Nike Dunks.
The field is open until Sunday 18 May to everyone to submit their artwork inspired by the beautiful game. Nick Knight and SHOWstudio will then select a final 11 to be exhibited at the 1/1: Art of Football show in Basel, June 2008.

Fantasy Football
In the build-up to the final deadline of our 1/1: Art Of Football competition on Sunday 18 May, you can now view a gallery of our favourites, selected from the entries received thusfar. Showing just how wide the brief could potentially be pushed, photography, collage, crafty needlework and even good old-fashioned pen and paper all make appearances - not that we'd expect anything less from the ingenuity of SHOWstudio viewers, of course. And with three precious days left until the closing date for submissions, there's still all to play for.
