Michigan Teens Advance to 18th Annual Duck® Brand Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Finals

Michigan teens Baylee from Caledonia, Mich. and Blake from Wyoming, Mich. are finalists

AVON, Ohio – Unbridled creative minds + hundreds of rolls of Duck Tape® + Your Votes = One amazing competition. The top ten finalists of the 18th Annual Duck® brand Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest have been chosen, and it’s now up to you to determine the winners! For the first time ever, Grand Prize-seeking students entered their Duck Tape® prom fashions individually (rather than as couples), allowing voters to crown the most dazzling dress design as well as the tip-top tux.  Who will take home the combined $20,000 in prizes? You decide!

Starting at noon EDT today, June 14, the general public (that’s you!) can visit StuckAtProm.com to view the 2018 Stuck at Prom® finalist gallery to vote for their favorites! Polls are open until midnight EDT on June 25. Check back on July 9 (or follow Duck® brand on social media – @theduckbrand) to see who will be crowned as the 2018 Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest winners.

“For many, prom is not about landing the perfect date. It’s about spending one more night with your closest friends before graduating and officially ‘adulting.’ It’s about dancing to your favorite songs, laughing over inside jokes and reminiscing about what will eventually be known as ‘the good old days’,” said Ashley Luke, category manager, at ShurTech Brands, LLC, the company that markets the Duck® brand. “To celebrate everyone’s unique prom-going experience — whether you’re attending prom by yourself, with a date, a friend or a group — we chose to focus this year’s contest on the individual, rather than the couple.”

The remaining eight runners up will receive a $100 Duck Tape® prize pack.
