Every year, a panel of judges carefully reviews and evaluates each submission for workmanship, originality, use of colors, accessories and use of Duck Tape^®. Though narrowing the field of entries down to the top finalists is no doubt a difficult task, the intricate designs and artistry of each of the outfits set them apart from the rest and blew the judges away.

"This is the second year the contest has been held virtually, allowing students to compete against their peers whether they went to a prom or not, and these contestants brought their 'A' game, dazzling us with color and originality from head to toe," said Ashley Luke, Senior Product Manager & Global Brand Manager at Duck^® Brand's parent company, Shurtape Technologies, LLC. "We're inspired by how confidently they shine in their outfits and can't wait to see who takes home the Grand Prizes."
