When I was in high school (which wasn’t that long ago, eh hem, a decade), I remember some kids entering a contest for designing and wearing duct tape prom attire. This takes it to a whole other, way more awesome level. The Detroit Free Press encouraged local students to design prom dresses made from newspapers for the chance to win $500. And what the local girls came up with is nothing short of awesome. Users can select their favorite dress and rank them to help determine the $500 winner. The Freep says it received more than 20 entries. You can check out the photo gallery of the top eight newspaper dressmaker finalists here. And you can vote on your favorite until midnight Thursday. This is a great example of a way for a newspaper to engage its readership — especially its young readers — and promote the print product in a creative way.

They tie it together nicely with the smooth voting/ranking mechanism and online contest. 4 Ton Ac Heat UnitInnovative and fun for participants and other readers.Hot Pink Curtains Australia Thanks to Poynter for pointing this contest out. 1950s Vintage Prom Dress For SaleThey also have some fun links to other newspaper fashions, including this gallery of newspaper dresses.We love the baby blue trench paired with crisp Wimbledon whites.

The wide-leg trouser may seem like an intimidating trend (how in the world could massive amounts of fabric be flattering?) especially if you’re on the shorter side like myself.

But I have a few key secrets to pulling it off with confidence, and I’m excited to share. Hint: it’s all about the shoe.
