Condom Contest in New York



Officials in New York City have launched a condom designing competition.


The US city's health department is keen to keep its residents' "excited" about safe sex and has opened a contest for people to sketch a special limited-edition wrapper design.


The winning artwork will appear on hundreds of thousands of condom wrappers.


The design is not allowed to be racy and the winner will be chosen from an online poll.


At the moment, the mayor's office gives away over 40 million free condoms a year in a bid to ensure people in the city are sensible when they make love.
