ONE® has always inspired people to harness their creative genius and wit to get people talking about condoms – and now we're excited to combine rubbers with rhymes," said Davin Wedel, founder and president of ONE® Condoms. "I'm excited to see who wins the coveted title of the Poe of Prophylactics."

It's time to put pen to paper, rock out with your Dickinson out, and show us you've got the rhyme and reason to be crowned the next "Poe of Prophylactics."
