I had heard rumors about this contest in the past and I received the link to StuckAtProm.com from Emily (Emily and I both work on the blog WhatIfPost) in an email today.
Stuck at Prom is a contest held by the good folks who manufacture Duct Tape for high school students to create a prom dress and tuxedo out of duct tape.
Thanks to Pitt Girl (she writes the Burgh Blog) I learned that one of the top 10 finalists is from the Pittsburgh area. Click here to read the Post-Gazette article about the dress.
Winning couples receive a $3000 scholarship and their school also receives $3000. Currently Sharon Dranko and Joshua Humm are in the lead with over 16,000 votes. Voting ends June 29, 2008.
Duct Tape Dress Stats:
- $600 worth of Duct Tape
- 140 hours to make
- The dress weighs over 50 lbs
Coverage from other local bloggers:
- Chocolate Stegosaurus
- Carnegie Library Teen Staff
- Stop by Art Club at CLP Main in Oakland next Wednesday, June 25th, at 2 pm to craft your own duck-tape creations on a smaller scale: wallets and whatnot.
- Studio Ruthe
I must say, I could not agree with you in 100%, but that's just my IMHO, which indeed could be wrong.
p.s. You have an awesome template . Where have you got it from?
