NYC’s Dept. of Health Launches Condom Design Contest, To Accompany Yves Behar’s Original

Have an idea that you want to become the next Yves Behar but are too lazy to go to the gym to work on your abs? Luckily, you now have another option thanks to the New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Following their launch of a free condom program early last year, their wrappers designed by Behar, the organization has kicked off the “Design the Next NYC Condom Pacakge” contest. It’s a prize-less affair, and they’re not planning on scrapping Behar’s original anytime soon, but the winning design will be featured as a limited-edition and be used in the program’s marketing campaigns. Here are the details:

Any New York City resident, 17 or older, can submit one entry. The artwork must be original, must not be raunchy, and can’t include copyrighted or trademarked images (no Empire State Building motifs). With those exceptions, anything goes. But think fast — entries are due by midnight on January 22, 2010.
