AVON, Ohio , June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, 10 Grand Prize-seeking students are one step closer to winning college scholarships after being selected as one of the top 10 finalists in Duck® brand's 22nd Annual Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest. Now that the finalists have dazzled the judges with their designs, it's time for the public to vote online to crown the winners.
To participate in the contest, young makers from across the U.S. and Canada crafted intricate and impressive Duck Tape® ensembles in hopes of taking home one of two $10,000 cash college scholarships up for grabs.
