Tuesday 01st February 2011 IT’S ENTRY TIME!

We’re down to the final few days of the Art Stars open-call competition and receiving several entries each hour. It’s exciting to see how it’s all shaping up - from London to Dubai, the submissions have been impressive and are keeping us busy as we compile them for the judges for review next week.

Each artist has truly taken the brief and explored their own ideas of Americana – each one unique with the content sourced from a wide range of material such as film, history, craft and technology. It seems everyone is busy at work and we look forward to all the entries that will flow in this week!

You can view the latest entries as they come in and we'll continue to keep you up-to-date on the series of talks with the mentors - with two this week in Madrid and Dubai.

But we aren’t the only ones that are getting excited during this last stretch. We’ve spoken to the judges who are looking forward to seeing everything that has come in and can hardly wait until Friday. We’ll be posting some of their thoughts on the contest, so check back later this week to read what they have to say!

Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren Art Stars

Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren Art Stars

In January 2010, Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren commissioned over 40 of Europe’s most exciting young contemporary artists to customise stars made from the finest American denim.

With the iconic Stars and Stripes flag for inspiration, each young artist was tasked with creating something totally unique: beyond the shapes and sizes of the Art Stars, the only limit was their imaginations...

Each Art Star will appear in a Polo Jeans Co. store, before joining a public exhibition in London in late 2010.

Contemporary art and fashion aficionados will have the opportunity to own one of these exclusive Art Stars.

All the stars created will be brought together in a public exhibition in London in late 2010 and auctioned in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.

Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of young people with cancer between the ages of 13-24.

Teenagers don’t stop being teenagers because they have cancer, which is why Teenage Cancer Trust builds specialist units in NHS hospitals, staffed by teenage cancer specialists.

These units are designed for and by young people and aim to give teenage cancer patients the very best chance of a positive outcome whilst being as close as possible to normal life.

State-of-the-art facilities keep patients occupied during long, and often grueling stays, whilst bringing teenagers with cancer together so they can support each other.
