Scion wants to know what moves Otaku Generation by holding a national Anime T-shirt design contest.
Scion looks to artistic fans of the Anime Art Community to design their Official T-shirt! The Scion car company wants Anime and manga influenced non-published artist to submit original designs today for a chance to win $500 among other prizes and get recognized as the artist who designed Scions first Anime themed T-Shirt. The winning design will be picked at the Akiba Fest J-Pop Summer Concert Bash on August 11, 2007 featuring Yoko Ishida.
The winning design, selected entries, and artists will also be featured in Otaku USA magazine and participating websites and other Akiba Fest events.
This contest is put on in part by TenBu Productions for Scion, the Official Vehicle of the Akiba Fest J-Pop Summer Concert Bash.

It’s interesting that a car company would go through such lengths to connect with such a specific community. It can only mean that the anime community’s visibility is coming up even faster than it seemed before.
You don’t see Ford holding an anime-themed contest! Then again, Gen Y IS Scion’s target market.
