Friday Funny: Which Prom Design Are You Stuck On?

The top 10 entries for this year’s Duck tape Stuck at Prom contest have been announced, so now it’s time for you to help decide the winners.

From a tux inspired by the King of Hearts to a dress inspired by its designer’s love of honey bees, this year’s class of Duck® brand Stuck at Prom® scholarship contestants is dressed to impress. It may not be obvious at first glance, but the designs become even more impressive when you learn they are made out of Duck Tape!

Each year, the annual Duck Tape Stuck at Prom scholarship contest entices creative young minds across the U.S. and Canada with the hopes of taking home bragging rights and a combined $20,000 in grand prize money.

After imagining and crafting unique, personal and perfect-for-them prom attire, this year’s Top 10 entries have been selected. Now it’s time for you to help decide who will win.
