Trojan Condoms® and Ludacris Crown Winner of Magnum® 'Live Large' Project

PRINCETON, N.J., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- After more than 2,000 entries and thousands of votes from fans, the makers of TROJAN® Brand Condoms and musician and entertainer, Ludacris, have announced the winner of the Magnum® "Live Large" Project. Atlanta native Lerish "RC" Collins bested a competitive pool of musicians and everyday fans to become the contest winner and will perform live at one of the largest hip-hop concerts in the country, Birthday Bash 15, on June 19 in Atlanta. The project gave emerging musicians the opportunity to show the world how they exude the Magnum "live large" lifestyle every day.

"It's an unbelievable feeling and I'm so thankful for everyone who supported me," said RC. "To be recognized by Ludacris and the fans, and to have the chance to perform for a hometown crowd will be an experience I'll never forget."

"RC's track was exactly what we were looking for and really stood out from the rest," said Magnum Live Large Project ambassador, Ludacris. "RC's song 'Put it On' epitomizes the Magnum 'live large' lifestyle and we're sure he'll be doing big things in the future."

Artists from across the country were encouraged to log on to www.MAGNUMLiveLarge.com where they were provided sample tracks from Ludacris and criteria to create a song that embodied the "live large" mentality synonymous with the Magnum lifestyle. The more than 2,000 entries were narrowed down by fans to a field of 10 before Ludacris and a panel of industry experts crowned the winner.

"We were thrilled by the fan interest and high-quality of the submissions we received," said Jim Daniels, Vice President for Trojan® Condoms. "We congratulate RC as he perfectly personifies the gold standard that comes with being a Magnum man."
