Young? Artsy? Money hungry? Then Scion has your ticket; the brand is giving away money, cars and mentors to people who fit the bill.

Scion calls it the “Motivate” program, and is offering entrepreneurs in the arts community between the ages of 18 and 35 the chance for a personal business mentor, $10,000 and a new Scion vehicle to help further their business. Entries consist of a written explanation and a one minute video detailing how winning would help. Applications are being accepted starting today until January 31, or until the contest reaches it’s 5,000 application limit.

A total of 50 semi finalists will be selected from the initial entries to participate in a three-day business workshop hosted in Los Angeles. During the course of that workshop, they will learn skills to improve their businesses before getting the chance to improve their initial entries.

Of that group, 10 winners will be chosen and will each win the prize described above while the runners up will each get a $1,000 grant.
