The contact-form existence problem for odd-dimensional manifolds with non-degenerate two-forms

Let MM be a closed, oriented, odd-dimensional smooth manifold equipped with a non-degenerate two-form.

Contact-form existence problem. Does MM admit a contact form?

This is described as one of the major open questions in contact topology. The supplied text gives no stronger resolution or additional hypotheses.
