Make a duct tape outfit, win $5000!
The Duck Brand Stuck At Prom Scholarship Contest, now in its 12th year, challenges high school promgoers to create entire outfits out of duct tape for the chance to win scholarships. Duck will choose its top 10, and then the public will vote for the first-, second- and third-place winners (who win scholarship funds for themselves and their schools).
You can start submitting your entries on March 7, but before you start planning, be warned that this is a little more intense than your average duct tape wallet project: Last year's grand prize winners didn't just make a suit and a dress from duct tape; they constructed flowers, lace and a vest and tie combo that, frankly, was nicer than the tux I wore to my prom.
