      It's not a trend, it's a contest. This is another absurd contest that kids bet their lives on for a chance to get a scholarship. And, because it from the Duck Brand already, it's all kind of terrible in the long run. I mean, considering how many people enter each year and how much you need to spend to make a dress or tux out of duct tape, they probably make much more than what they award.

      @@YYC403NOYP Not really. The top prize is $15,000. Which barely covers a single year in an average college(and that's for in-state costs in the US). You would still need to apply for grants and other scholarships; while spending weeks, to a few months, making those duct tape outfits. It would be cheaper and easier to apply for other scholarships that only need your report card and maybe an essay. There's over a million offered in the US alone and most of them don't require purchasing from a brand.
