Design Contest 1 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 8 Honorable Mentions. ONE staff also selects extra Favorites called Staff Picks. Think you got what it takes to design ONE? Submit your art.

THE JUDGES
A huge THANK YOU to our three guest judges who used their keen eyes and spectacular senses of style to help us select the winners for Contest 1 of our ongoing ONE® Design Contest!
Kevin Cimo
Kevin is creative director and co-founder of Boston-based creative shop Fair Folk. Beyond honing his skills writing in the third person, Kevin spent the last 18 years working his way up from junior designer at a small, five-person creative shop to creative director at one of the largest ad agencies in the country. Missing being the small company with the underdog attitude, Kevin and business partner Jon Casey set out to take their career-long learnings and see what kind of difference they could make by starting a company of their own. Today Fair Folk is two years old and five people, and their client roster consists of brands large and small/new and old: Trillium Brewing Company, Warrior, New Balance, Crane & Lion, Mahi Gold and Hub Week.
