Feb. 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Orem, Utah – Brent Brown Toyota Scion and Utah Valley University (UVU) Athletics will announce Saturday the Wolverine iQ Scholarship Competition, a contest among UVU students to design a school-themed car wrap for a Scion iQ, a sporty new fuel-efficient car geared towards the student consumer. The dealership will award the winner with a $1,000 textbook scholarship, and apply the winning design to an iQ for the university’s use.

The competition will kick off at Saturday’s last home Men’s Basketball game against the University of Texas-Pan American.

“Students, have an opportunity here to be part of UVU history,” said Dustin Lyons, Scion manager at Brent Brown Toyota Scion (http://www.BrentBrownToyota.com). “The Wolverine iQ will not only add a new dynamic to UVU and Willy the Wolverine, but we be a visible reminder of UVU’s spirit throughout the community.”

From Feb. 25 through March 25, current UVU students can download entry forms from the Brent Brown Toyota Facebook page (http://www.Facebook.com/BrentBrownToyota). Entrants must post designs to the contest Facebook page no later than 11 p.m. on Mar. 25. Public voting will take place the following week on Facebook.

Winners will be announced at a special ceremony held at Brent Brown Toyota Scion. The student whose design garnered the most votes on the Facebook page will receive a $1,000 textbook scholarship from Brent Brown Toyota Scion. The Wolverine-themed Scion iQ, as designed by the winner, will be unveiled on May 1 when UVU Men’s Baseball faces BYU at the Brent Brown Ballpark.
