AVON,
Ohio – Do you have an old jalopy that’s
headed for the junkyard? Or perhaps your teenager’s parked
clunker is a chronic eyesore in your driveway? Neither car is
worth a new paint job, you say? Not to worry, just dress up the
car in duct tape and enter the first annual Duck® brand duct
tape Stuck in Traffic Contest, with the chance of winning first
prize of $2,500 cash.
This special
opportunity lets individuals give their car an innovative and
original makeover. Beyond relaxing the strain on their budgets,
drivers can use their imagination and lots of tape to create their
own auto fashion style from both standard silver gray duct tape
and a variety of different duct tapes (the Duck brand offers a
variety of colors and patterns of tape, including camouflage and
fluorescent yellow, orange, green and pink).
The Duck
brand duct tape Stuck in Traffic Contest, sponsored
by Henkel Consumer Adhesives, Inc., will award the 1st place winner
$2,500 for their creativity in covering or partially covering
an operable or non-operable vehicle with duct tape in a creative
and original manner.
The 2nd place
winner will receive $1,000 while the 3rd place winner will win
$500. A limited number of Honorable Mention Winners will receive
a Duck Tape sportswear package.
HOW
TO ENTER
For a registration form and official contest rules, interested
individuals should go to www.ducktapeclub.com after May 20, 2002.

tape sculptor. Photos and entries must be received by August 9,
