Participants must tag the video with the station's Facebook page, the name of their high school, and include the hashtag, #945VirtualProm.
Winners will be chosen by 94.5 The Beat staff members based on,

- Audience impact
The Virtual Red Carpet will take place from 7-8 p.m. and the virtual prom will kick off at 8 p.m. Contest rules are available at the station’s website.
“It’s a shame that students are having to go miss the rite of passage of prom this year. We wanted to provide something that will help fill the void students are feeling at this time. Our station takes pride in being more involved in the community than any other and this is just another example” 94.5 The Beat General Manager Rich Richardson said.
