Pick your favorite duct tape prom dress

Yep, it's all duct tape.

Everyone has seen or heard of the duct tape prom dress and tuxedo combo, but did you know that a duct tape prom dress can win the student who made it a scholarship?

In fact, each year Duck brand duct tape chooses a couple to win $3,000 scholarships, and the company gives the school $3,000 as well. This year there are 330 entries, and you can vote for your favorite.

Scholarship money

Most students use low cost loans to get through college, but there are a lot of scholarships out there to help out as well. The duct tape prom dress and tuxedo contest will help six high school students pay for college.

The winners of the duct tape prom dress/tux contest get $3,000 each toward their college tuition. Second-place winners get $2,000 and third place get $1,000. The contest winners’ schools get the same amount in each case that the winners get.

Too late for your duct tape prom dress

If you haven’t already entered the contest, unfortunately it is too late for this year. However, voting is open until Thursday, so you could help a couple of lucky high school students win the scholarships.

Clearly, Duck brand duct tape has turned this contest into a gold mine. The contest has been around since 2001. Entries are judged on several criteria, and a small percentage of the entrants’ scores is based on the quantity of duct tape used.
