Are you creative, bold, and passionate about s*xual health? The AIDS Committee of Durham Region (ACDR) invites artists, designers, and community members to submit their original artwork for our renewed awareness campaign: “Protect Yourself.”

This campaign promotes HIV prevention through condom use and PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) in a way that’s cheeky, eye-catching, and memorable.

Our three core messages are:

Cover Your Rooster (Renewed) – Promote condom use.

Protect Your Cat (Renewed) – Encourage protection for vaginal s*x.

PrEP Your Donkey (New) – Highlight the importance of PrEP for a**l s*x.

PrEP Your Cat (New) - Highlight the importance of PrEP for vaginal s*x.

We’re looking for designs that are fun, inclusive, culturally aware, and resonate with diverse communities, including 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and youth populations. Your artwork could be featured on posters, social media, merchandise, and across the region! Apply now using the QR code or at https://forms.gle/q6rMxaU3Ksu9bX1RA
