Whoever said America’s youth have no imagination has never met Sharon Dranko of Monaca, Pa., and Joshua Humm of Aliquippa, Pa. The high school couple’s creativity and unique use of dad’s favorite fix-all to create their prom outfits have earned them $6,000 in scholarship money and bragging rights as the winners of the eighth annual Duck® brand duct tape Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest.

Dranko and Humm were named the winners of the Stuck at Prom Contest, and each received a $3,000 scholarship. Center Area High School, Monaca, Pa., was also awarded $3,000 for hosting the prom. The couple beat out more than 160 couples from 44 states and four Canadian provinces with their sticky creations to win the first place title.

It took approximately three months for Dranko and Humm to finish their outfits, which utilized a combination of pink, black, white and aqua duct tape. Humm’s zebra-striped suit jacket took more than 30 hours to complete, while Dranko’s 50-pound dress (which included a hoop skirt that measured five feet in diameter) required 134 rolls of duct tape to fashion.
