Condom Tin Competition!

A couple of months ago you were invited to design a condom tin and the winners have been announced.

If you come from King Island and you entered the competition then I'm sorry to say you were not successful.

For more information see below.

The Australian Government’s condom tin design competition winners have now been chosen from an overwhelming response of more than 500 entries by over 7,000 valid votes and celebrity judges. Standouts from this enormous pool were Brisbane local Alex Naghavi, and Canberra resident Vladimir Zokic.

The competition, aimed at young people around Australia, is part of the ongoing National STI Prevention Program: Sexual Health Campaign. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the risks of infection and encourage safe sexual behavior, including using condoms and seeing a doctor about testing after unprotected sex.

To encourage condom carrying, we asked young people to design a condom tin that would appeal to their peer group. This competition aimed to build on the achievements of the campaign by encouraging interaction and participation from the target audience and further promotion of campaign messages.

Our two winning entries were chosen by a panel of judges who include visual and performing artist Ben Frost, pop, rock and dance music band Bluejuice and dating, sex and relationships commentator, Samantha Brett.

Alex is a keen Designer who entered the competition to illustrate that condom use is an equal responsibility for both men and woman.

Vladimir enjoyed using his creative flair to become involved in an important initiative for all Australians.

Alex’s and Vladimir’s designs will go into production shortly. Register your interest in receiving information about where these tins will be distributed by going to the website – www.australia.gov.au/sti

School's Out

On Monday of this week we were lucky enough to have Michael Colling from School's Out come back to the island.

Here's a picture of him with his 'faux hawk' (as described by a Grade 10 student)

Michael was exploring what it means to be a man with the boys from Grade 9 and 10. Topics included communication, body image and anger management which might make it all sound a bit boring but it was quite the opposite.

Thanks to the Regional Primary Health Service for funding this excellent program and thanks to Michael for giving up nearly three days of his holiday to come to King Island. I hope the cheese made it all worthwhile!
