Support the "Duck Tape" Kids!

[Petur Gudlaugsson]

My name is Ellen Jarl and am going to be a freshmen at Columbia this fall.  I am letting you know that Jake Loviska and I made our prom outfits out of duck tape which we wore in April. We then entered the  2007 Duck® brand duct tape Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest which challenges high school students to create and accessor ize their prom formalwear with Americas favorite fix-all duct tape. This is a national contest with over 180 couples entering. We just found out that we were selected by a panel of judges to be in the Top 10.  For the first time this year it is the publics choice as to who has the hottest fashions! We need help to be the couple that earns the most votes during the online voting period which ends on June 29th. We are competing for a portion of $18,000 in scholarship prizes.  If you could send this to everyone you know it would help use get votes.  Thank you!
