AVON,
Ohio, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Drumroll,
please! Today, Duck® brand names the top 10 finalists in
the 24th Annual Stuck at Prom® Scholarship
Contest, which challenges high school students across the U.S. and
Canada to create promwear entirely
out of Duck Tape® for a chance to win college
scholarships. From jaw-dropping dresses with extravagant skirts to
tuxedos that incorporate a kaleidoscope of patterns and colors,
this year's impressive display of creativity and craftsmanship puts
online voters in a sticky situation as they decide the Grand Prize
winners.
"What 'sticks out' to me about the participants this year is
their confidence to create entries that are completely unlike any
of the previous Stuck at Prom® looks," said Kerry Haugh, director of product marketing, duct
tapes, at Shurtape Technologies, LLC, the company that markets the
Duck® brand. "Encouraging high schoolers to be
themselves and embrace their uniqueness is what this competition is
all about. The voters have their work cut out for them as they
determine this year's winners!"
