Today when I was looking at things on the internet I came across a video about a very confident young girl who had knit her own prom dress out of Duck Tape. Seriously, Duck tape??? All I can say is...... WOW! Such resourcefulness is pretty rare, don't you think? I wonder where this girl will be in a few years from now (maybe designing new and innovative knitting patterns we'll all be talking about?). Watch the video to see for yourself:
It turns out though, that every year hundreds of teenagers are creating their own funky fashions out of duct tape, hoping to win a scholarship prize in a contest put on by the makers of Duck brand duct tape.
The contest rules state "The Contest is open to legal residents of the United States and Canada, including the District of Columbia, but excluding Puerto Rico and the Province of Quebec, 14 years of age or older at the time of entry who are attending a high school prom in the spring of 2009".
Do you think you're up for the challenge? Check out the contest website for more information and to look at the fashions created by past winners. See more images of contest participants. It seems like a totally crazy idea but might just be a lot of fun.
