FOuRTH DunLOP ART CAR COMPETITIOn CALLS FOR<br />
EnTRIES TO GIVE ITS FERRARI F458 ITALIA A unIQuE LOOK<br />
<strong>Dunlop</strong> is calling for competition entries to create the look of the<br />
<strong>Dunlop</strong> sponsored Ferrari at the Le Mans 24 Hours this year. This is<br />
the fourth year that a <strong>Dunlop</strong> car’s design has been created by<br />
competition winners – but this year there is a big difference –<br />
designers/artists will have a much freer canvas for designing the<br />
Ferrari F458 Italia entered by JMW <strong>Motorsport</strong>.<br />
This year’s competition will seek to expand the initiative into the<br />
artistic domain. The call for entries in 2012 is directed at car and<br />
racing fans as well as design students across all disciplines - from art<br />
to industrial, and fashion to architectural, each will have the chance to<br />
use the Ferrari’s livery as a canvas.<br />
This year’s competition is open to more people than ever before.<br />
The minimum entry age has been reduced to 16 yrs* and entrants are<br />
now invited from 12 countries across Europe. A dedicated website<br />
http://artcar.dunlop.eu has easy instructions for submitting designs<br />
- entrants simply apply their creation to a branded car template.<br />

Judges will be looking for imaginative and creative use of the<br />
automotive canvas that will be seen by over 200,000 spectators and<br />
millions of TV viewers worldwide.<br />
<strong>Dunlop</strong> also needs budding art critics to judge the competition by<br />
visiting the http://artcar.dunlop.eu website, with no need to register<br />
and using Facebook ‘likes’ for their favourite design. The top two<br />
‘liked’ entries along with two designs selected by a jury for each<br />
country all win prizes and go through to the European final; the most<br />
popular entry overall receives an automatic place in the final four.<br />
Entries can be submitted now and the closing date for entries and<br />
voting is 10th May. The winning design will be seen for the first time<br />
on June 2nd when it emerges from the pit-garage at Le Mans.<br />
