We have identified and spectroscopically confirmed three new strongly lensed, UV-bright star-forming galaxies at z 2 that are similar to the well-studied gravitationally lensed Lyman Break Galaxy {LBG} MS1512-cB58, and are of comparable brightness to the ''8 O'Clock Arc'' {Allam et al. 2007} and ''Clone'' systems {Lin et al. 2008}. The 8 O'Clock Arc and Clone have already been awarded 20 orbits for deep WFPC2 and NICMOS imaging in five bands {HST cycle 16, Program 11167, PI: Allam}. Adding these three recently discovered objects thus completes a unique set of the brightest known strongly lensed galaxies at z 2, with magnitudes of r 20-21, and they provide a new window into the detailed study of the properties of high redshift galaxies. We propose 21 orbits for deep WFC3 imaging in five bands {F475W, F606W, F814W, F110W, and F160W} in order to construct detailed lensing models, to probe the mass and light profiles of the lensing galaxies and their environments, and to constrain the spectral energy distributions, star formation histories, and morphologies of the lensed galaxies.;
