For the second year in a row, the Duck brand of duct tape is sponsoring a 'Saves The Day' promotion, awarding the person with the best story of how duct tape 'saved the day' $5,000 and a year's supply of Duck® brand duct tape. Not sure how much duct tape the average person uses in a year, but five grand is five grand.
In 2007, more than 2,650 stories were entered from the U.S. and Canada, stories ranging from creating a makeshift nest to saving a family of birds to making emergency car repairs on a first date. Emphasis will be put on creativity and original use of duct tape to 'save the day'. In addition to the first place prize, ten additional winners will be chosen at random, receiving $500 as well as a year's supply of tape.
If you're passionate about duct tape - and really, who hasn't been grateful for this sticky stuff of wonder - get your creative juices flowing and go to DuckTapeSavesTheDay.com for the skinny on rules and such. The contest kicked off the first of July, and runs through the end of October. The Duck brand of duct tape is made by Henkel, which has been around for about 130 years. More info at DuckProducts.com.
