Stuck at Prom Scholarship Contest

A Marietta teen is a finalist in the Stuck at Prom scholarship contest.

MARIETTA, Ga. - Prom is a time for students to get dressed up and dance the night away. Due to the pandemic, many students missed that opportunity.

"Duck Brand" has given students a chance to enjoy prom in a different way, and they can earn scholarship funds while doing so.

The company is giving away $20,000 in cash scholarships to high school students who make the best prom attire out of Duck Brand Duct Tape.

Ashton Cordisco is a graduate of Wheeler High School in Marietta. He plans to attend SCAD in Savannah this fall. Ashton's art teacher told him about the competition, and he immediately got to work. He's now a finalist in the tuxedo category of the competition.
