When you think of scoring scholarships, you generally think about raking in stellar grades, performing your best during the big game or writing an essay on what courage means to you. Rarely do you associate it with, well, condoms!
With Say It With a Condom's new competition, you could spread an important message about consensual sex and win a $1000 scholarship if you design a condom that demonstrates a fresh way to talk about consent. The company, which makes custom condom packaging, wants to make the conversation about consent last longer, and they need your help to do it! The winner will score 50 free prints of his or her own design, and 25 percent of the profits from sales will go to the group Force: Upsetting Rape Culture.
Competitors are to design custom condom packaging with a square template and submit it to the company (just send an email with the subject line "How I Say Consent" to the email address consent@sayitwithacondom.com along with your full name, school, and class year--you also have to "like" the company on Facebook!). Next, the top 10 designs are displayed on the company's Facebook page, and the "liking war" begins. The design with the most "likes" on August 15th wins the scholarship!
Even if you don't have an innovative idea in mind for your own condom packaging, be sure to check out Say It With a Condom's Facebook page to "like" your favorite designs. There are only three days left to submit your design, collegiettes, so get cracking! The finalists will be announced on August 1. Look here for some inspiration and go get started!
