AVON, Ohio, Feb. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- College-bound teens, it's your turn to shine! No matter what inspires you, from art and animals to culture and high fashion, Duck^® brand's 22^nd Annual Stuck at Prom^® Scholarship Contest is your opportunity to wow the world with your one-of-a-kind creativity and style. Nearly $25,000 in scholarships will be awarded to the best Duck Tape^® attire, so pull out your scissors and skills and start making your award-winning masterpiece.

Whether you're a new or experienced Duck Tape^® crafter, students who are enrolled in high school or home school are invited to enter their beautiful and bold designs into the contest beginning March 30.

"Despite the pandemic the last two years and many students not having the opportunity to experience prom at all, we had more young designers than ever before crafting at home and showing off their artistry virtually," said Ashley Luke, senior product manager at Shurtape Technologies, LLC, the company that markets the Duck^® brand. "Inspired by culture and fashion, we were in awe of the number of stunning Duck Tape^® ensembles entered into the contest. Now it's time for the next generation of talented teens in the U.S. and Canada to put their creativity to the test for a chance to win cash scholarships."

How It Works:
During the entry period, participants are invited to submit photos and videos of their finished Duck Tape^® dress or tux at StuckAtProm.com.

A panel of judges will then select 10 finalists—5 from the dress category and 5 from the tux category—based on the following criteria: use of color, workmanship, originality, accessories and how Duck Tape^® was used in the design.

The public will vote online to crown two Grand Prize winners—one dress and one tux. The top two designers will each receive a $10,000 scholarship. The eight runners up receive $500 scholarships and Duck^® brand prize packs worth $100.

Dates to remember:

Entry Period: March 30 through June 8, 2022
Judging Period: June 15 through June 22, 2022
Community Voting on Finalists: June 29 through July 13, 2022
