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.

This 'pitch-perfect' scene of pastoral idyll is Paul Bruty's pick from the current entries to our 1/1: Art Of Football competition, in partnership with NIKE. With the deadline looming large, you have until this Sunday to submit your artwork inspired by the beautiful game. To check out the competition (or perhaps garner some sneaky offside inspiration), all submissions to date can be seen at NIKE's 1/1 website, alongside the form to submit your own masterpiece. From all the works uploaded, 11 winners will be cherry-picked to exhibit at a prestigious ‘1/1’ exhibition at Basel during the city’s art fair this June alongside our own 11 established 1/1 ‘associates’, including SHOWstudio favourites Alice Hawkins, Gareth Pugh, Rebecca and Mike and Sølve Sundsbø. But, as the old adage goes, you’ve got to be in it to win it…

In celebration of the beautiful game, Nike and SHOWstudio launch 1-1: Art of Football, inviting you to celebrate your art through football, and your football through art. From today, the field is open for SHOWstudio viewers and the public at large to submit their own work in response to the statement 'Art of Football' and Nick Knight's video brief. The work will be shown on the Nike 1-1 website, a shortlist showcased on SHOWstudio during the course of the project and the best 11 exhibited in Basel during the city's prestigious art fair, along with work from a squad of 11 established creatives selected from around the world. Finally, one piece of art submitted will be immortalised on a limited edition set of Nike Dunks. The competition kicks off today, so for more information go to our project page.
