contents In this note, we prove that every closed connected oriented odd-dimensional manifold admits a map of non-zero degree (i.e., a domination) from a tight contact manifold of the same dimension. This provides an odd-dimensional counterpart of a symplectic domination result due to Joel Fine and Dmitri Panov. We prove that the dominating contact manifold can be ensured to be Liouville-fillable, but not Weinstein-fillable in general. We discuss an application for contact divisors arising as zero sets of asymptotically contact-holomorphic sections.
