Duck Tape Prom - Local Highschool Students Need Your Vote

Author:
Post Date: Jun.23.08

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
