To bring HIV/Aids awareness to the forefront, the City of New York is running a city wide contest for a new design for it's NYC Condom label.
According to the NYC Department of Health, " New York City remains the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S."
New York City has more AIDS cases than Los Angeles, Washington DC, Miami, and Sna Francisco combined and over 100,000 New Yorkers have contracted HIV. Many of whom are unaware of it.
The City of New York has handed out free condoms since 1971 they are still freely available at many bars, clubs and community institutuions around the city.
Any New York City Resident, 17 or older, can submit one entry. The artwork must be original, must be raunchy, and can't include copyrighted or trademarked images ( no Empire State Buildings motifs). With those exceptions, anything goes. But think fast - entries are due midnight on January 22, 2010.
