2018 SPRING DESIGN CONTEST WINNERS

For over a decade, the ONE Design Contest has given artists and advocates a platform to express their views on sexual health. Winning designs are featured on ONE’s signature, round condom wrappers. ONE will also donate a total of 50,000 condoms to the artists’ health organizations of choice.


A combination of voting by ONE staff and a panel of guest judges determines the Top 50 Finalist designs, which are then voted on by the public. Public Voting helps determine the Grand Prize Winner, Runner-Up Winner and Honorable Mentions. ONE staff also selects extra Favorites called Staff Picks.

Think you got what it takes to design ONE? Submit your art.
