And, as Duck Tape® is available in a vibrant assortment of colors, designs and licenses, high schoolers have everything they need to craft their prom fashions, from bright animal prints to glam geometrics. Plus, new innovative formats like Duck Tape® Sheets and Ducklings™ mini rolls make it easy to enhance designs with intricate detail.“Since 2001, Duck® brand has awarded more than $250,000 in scholarship money to students and schools, and provided plenty of ‘promspiration’ for teen fashionistas. The Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest is our way of rewarding ingenuity in students, encouraging them to bring their imagination to life and providing the scholarship assistance they need – while helping them create a prom experience they’ll never forget,” said Ami DeWille, senior category manager of Duck Tape® at ShurTech Brands, LLC. “This year, we’re upping the ante by increasing the top three prize amounts. In total, more than $50,000 in scholarships is up for grabs.”
The Stuck at Prom® entry period starts March 10, 2014, and ends May 23, 2014. A panel of judges will then choose 10 finalist couples based on workmanship, originality, use of colors, accessories and use of Duck Tape®. Those couples will be narrowed down to Grand Prize, Second and Third place winners during a public online voting period on StuckAtProm.com, which will open on June 10, 2014, and end on July 8, 2014, with winners announced on or about July 16, 2014.
The Grand Prize winners will each receive a $10,000 scholarship; $5,000 will be awarded to the school that hosted the prom they attended. The second place award is $5,000 for each of the students and $3,000 for the school that hosted the prom, and both the students in third place will receive $3,000, with $2,000 going to the school that hosted the prom. The remaining seven couples in the judge-selected Top 10 will each receive a $500 scholarship, as well as $500 for the school that hosted the prom. The “Singles Category” winner also will receive $500, and winners in the six “Honorable Mention” categories will receive a Duck Tape® prize pack.
“Prom is your time to shine, dazzle and wow,” said Michelle Lesniak, top fashion designer, winner of “Project Runway” Season 11, devoted Duck Tape® enthusiast and member of the 2014 Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest panel of judges. “No need to follow trends – start your own. Whether you love western rockabilly or the flapper dresses of the Roaring Twenties, the most important prom tip is to be yourself. Entering Stuck at Prom® is the perfect way to create a prom look that’s uniquely you.”
