My girlfriend and i entered a contest that will win us each $2500 if we win. Your help may just get us the cash (which is actually for college, but it's all relative isnt it?)
We (ok mostly my girlfriend) spent 26 hours putting over 1900 yards of duct tape together to make our prom outfit.
We are the eith one listed, as seen here:

OK dude, you got my vote. Man, anyone who spends that amount of time playing with duct tape deserves to win.

Nice job. Unfortunately, my conscience wouldn't allow me to vote impartially, so I voted for the other Prince Charming/Cinderella.
Sorry, but the detail in their outfits was astounding.

I voted for you. I didn't look at any of the others, so my conscience is clear. If you're a forum member, yours was best......simple as that.

i'm with woodman.. however im voting for them because you said you hated them and i think thats wrong, what have they done to you apart from build a much more superior (IMHO) outfit?

I don't think Tim meant literally when he said he hated them. :roll: They are the competition.
I looked at a lot and yes, the other Cinderella is awesome, but my vote goes to my photo forum Friend as he requested. No sleep lost due to conscience. (Which wasn't effected anyway :roll: )

What's all this talk of people with Consciences? Does Canon sell them? Are they expensive? Do I really need one, or will my pictures be OK even if I don't have a Conscience?
Darn. First L, now Consciences. Will this mad buying spree ever end?
I voted for Tim without looking any other way. Doing otherwise would be like telling the entire school that your brother was wrong about something.

Timmy,
I wish you all the luck with that sticky issue.
However, I fear that the guy who is going to win this will be the ugly-looking nerd with the unimpressive costume who programmed the best program that will cast a million votes from hijacked IP addresses.
Still, all the best luck for you!
Best regards,
Andy

I voted for you also!
But unless I'm mistaken the best you'll do with the popular vote will be $500. It appears the rest of the prizes are awarded independantly of the voting, by judges who are looking at certain criteria.
Good luck!

(Gasp!) That will barely cover the cost of the tape---forget getting any cool camera gear, especially if you have to split it with the GF. :!:

Well, duct tape manufacturing companies are not especially known for their philantropic natures....
Best regards,
Andy
PS: IanD, did you get the name of the duct tape company? 8)

Wow.. Outstanding.
An awsome array of choices, styles, and designing.
Alas my vote went to another couple (blue and white strips... simple, well designed and worked fantasic as a couple) who really need a new camera or photographer! The photo is so blurry. :shock:
Best of luck Tim.

You got a few from us, I mean me.
Hmmm, I recall a recruit receiving a fashionable fitting of duct tape underwear back in Navy Bootcamp for his not having his clothes folded properly for inspection... (the company had to perform extra work as a result - so they took his clothing issue into their own hands, so to speak). BTW, there is no painless way to remove duct tape underwear; at least from what I gather from the sound of agony emanating from the barracks showers. :shock:
