Urban Outfitters and Squarespace are approaching emerging artists, designers and tech innovators with their new contest, "UO & Squarespace Dreamers + Doers", for start-ups.

The winner will receive $20,000 in start-up funds to turn their dream into a reality.

"We're excited for the opportunity to collaborate with Squarespace on this initiative and support young, rule-breaking, creative entrepreneurs — their self-starting mentality is the cornerstone of the Dreamers + Doers concept and of the Urban Outfitters brand," said Rachel Albright, Urban Outfitters Director of Content + Curation.

To take part, competitors have to create a Squarespace Cover Page for their business and/or portfolio and include a sample of their work. The winner will receive the funds and an exclusive feature and coverage on the Urban Outfitters' website, a two-year subscription to Squarespace, and a mentorship session with a Squarespace pro.
