Nike Art Competition 1/1

April 25, 2008

Nike has launched a new annual art competition called 1/1. You have to be based in Europe and be over sixteen to enter. The winner will have the chance to show at the Basel Art Fair and will design a limited edition pair of Nike Dunks, which I guess is a pair of shoes made by Nike.

The contest is open to everyone from filmmakers and photographers to graffiti artists and illustrators.

Nike's Nick Knight said "Both football and the arts cut across restrictions. Whether you're from any part of the world, class or part of society, you can realize a football match: that's what I like about it. It's the same with the arts: a great painting will cut across boundaries. And that global reach is what's really exciting about the '1/1: Art of Football' project.

We're looking for participants who are completely faithful to football but also want to express it in a piece of artwork. It could be a performance, a monument, a still - whatever they want. Hopefully that need to communicate will be the driving force behind the SHOWstudio/NIKE collaboration.”
