I looked at the last duct tape contest and it said it took a while for the people at the Scotch company to decide the winners.

gutarmani says:

i just missed the cut off because it does not tell you the dates for the contest and i had a duck tape raft that could hold 7 people that i was going to enter

Jun 30, 2011. 9:51 PM

cloudifornia says:

The dates were very clearly posted. Sorry you missed out.

Jun 30, 2011. 10:25 AM

ATTILAtheHUNgry says:

This is awesome. But they do post the dates of the contest.

Jun 30, 2011. 12:16 PM

splazem says:

Yeah, sorry.

Jun 29, 2011. 12:21 PM

CatTrampoline says:

This one would qualify for the watersports contest and it is still open. Good luck!

Jun 29, 2011. 12:45 PM

splazem says:

Good idea!

Jun 29, 2011. 1:18 PMChirpoff says:

Yeah, that's really cool!

Jun 28, 2011. 11:44 AMoutofyurworld says:

You can still make the instructable, it shouldn't be that hard now that you have completed it.

And honestly, it looks like it would float without all of that duct tape, besides what attaches everything together.

mischka says:

After seeing all those awesome entries i guess you can make almost everything of duct tape. Great contest and great entries!

Jun 28, 2011. 1:28 PM

splazem says:

Yeah, you truly can make anything!

Jun 28, 2011. 2:29 PM

susanrm says:

I know, right? I have even more ideas... but too late for the contest. Like, a duct tape life jacket to go with my new duct tape kayak to be!

Jun 28, 2011. 2:33 PM

splazem says:

Awesome.

Jun 27, 2011. 4:50 PM

Thank you! I put another entry in yesterday, and while it was Featured, it still hasn't appeared here. It was accepted into the contest, but not yet approved. I hope it appears soon!

Jun 10, 2011. 7:42 PM

Vigilante, The says:

Does anyone know when this contest ends? Thanks in advance!

Jun 11, 2011. 7:26 AM

bajablue says:

It closes at midnight on June 26th.

Jun 25, 2011. 12:22 AMCropJ says:

...like the midnight leading into June 26... or including june 26th and ending at the end of the day leading into the 27th.... im so confused.

Jun 25, 2011. 6:21 AM

bajablue says:

You have the entire day of the 26th. At midnight, the day changes to the 27th.

So, you have all day Sunday, the 26th... until the clock strikes midnight, 12:00 am.

All Duct Tape entries submitted at or after 12:00 am on Monday the 27th turn into pumpkins or mice, depending on the mood of the robot fairy. ;-)

Best of Luck!!!

Jun 26, 2011. 2:57 PMChirpoff says:

LOL, I watched a play of Cinderella last night!

Phew, I don't have to worry about the deadline anymore, mine's in! Yay!

Jun 26, 2011. 2:52 PMChirpoff says:

GO Duct Tape! Just when you thought it couldn't get any cooler, they bring us TOUGH duct tape! Wow, and I thought I lost my fingerprints with the last ones! LOL

I've always used duct tape to remove splinters I can't see.

Jun 25, 2011. 12:30 AMCropJ says:

Jun 21, 2011. 4:35 PMThe nerdling says:

Jun 24, 2011. 10:21 AM

splazem says:

fungus amungus is in charge of this one.

Jun 21, 2011. 6:04 PMthedude000121 says:

I think instructables.

Jun 13, 2011. 2:08 PMl99roufs says:

You would think they'd make Dut Tape a prize. :-(

Jun 19, 2011. 3:41 PMLlama Nerds says:

Actually, the little picture above says "$100 from REI Plus a 3M tape pack". I presume that means that duct tape is part of the "first prize".

Jun 22, 2011. 3:19 PMl99roufs says:

Ok. Thanks I didn't see that.

Jun 17, 2011. 3:11 PM

cloudifornia says:

They don't have duct tape where you live? Drag.

Jun 22, 2011. 3:18 PMl99roufs says:

No they do.

Jun 7, 2011. 10:34 AMyourworstnightmare says:

does it have to be pure duct tape or can you use sticks or pine cones init as long as the main material is Duct tape?

Jun 16, 2011. 6:13 PM

cloudifornia says:

It's the great outdoors challenge. Sticks work. Pinecones, too.

Jun 13, 2011. 10:44 PMart.z says:

Is the contest open to iternational entries?

Jun 12, 2011. 10:13 AMjid4611 says:

Jun 12, 2011. 3:42 PM

cloudifornia says:

As many as you want, but you can only win one prize.

Jun 12, 2011. 9:18 AM

Kaptain Kool says:

how do you know that they were kids??

Jun 16, 2011. 4:23 AM

taowyman says:

i dont know people yonger than me i call kids

Jun 17, 2011. 2:59 PM

Kaptain Kool says:

How do you know that they are younger than you, and based on your poor language skills, I would guess that you are a kid still.

Jun 25, 2011. 12:26 AMCropJ says:

you need to grow up peter pan...

Jun 25, 2011. 10:14 AM

Kaptain Kool says:

You want to capitalize Peter Pan and You.

Jun 26, 2011. 8:26 AMkirwin1 says:

Captain is spelled with a C and so is cool. Just putting that out there!

Jun 26, 2011. 6:38 PM

Kaptain Kool says:

Oh I realize that, I just like the way that it looks.

Jun 26, 2011. 3:04 PMChirpoff says:

LOL I'm biased! My name starts with a "K" where usually it would start with a "C", so I like words that start with "K"! :) But it would look a little weird if I had "Khirpoff" as my username, the pronunciation would get totally thrown off! :)

Jun 28, 2011. 6:26 AM

Kaptain Kool says:

I'm not really being biased, because an intentional misspelled word is different from having poor grammar, punctuation, and spelling skills. Also, you are free to spell Chirpoff as Khirpoff, because neither of them mean anything as they aren't real words. In my username, changing the c's to k's doesn't change the pronunciation as it does in your username.

Jun 29, 2011. 12:45 AMCropJ says:

pshhh... listen to this guy.

Jun 29, 2011. 7:11 AM

Kaptain Kool says:

It should be "Pshhh... listen to this guy."

Jun 28, 2011. 11:04 AMChirpoff says:

Yeah, actually, in the new Star Trek movie, Captain Pike forgets how to pronounce Chekhov's name, and calls him Chirpoff, among other things, in an effort to get it right (which he didn't)! My nickname at home has something to do with Chirpoff, so it's become my favorite nickname! BTW, I like your username. :)

Jun 29, 2011. 7:11 AM

Kaptain Kool says:

Thanks!
