Send Us Your Best (And Worst) Prom Pictures

It’s prom season again. The traditional dance where high school seniors kick up their heels for the last time together and celebrate moving on to the next stage of their young lives.

Most of us remember the prom through the gauzy lens of nostalgia. But we all know the pictures tell a completely different story. You may ask yourself: Did I really wear that color dress? Was my hair that high? How many people did we actually fit into that limo? Or, why did I go to the prom with him!?

We all know that you already scoured your old photos to upload those crazy pictures from high school when you first joined Facebook. Now, we simply want you to show the rest of the world what you looked like "back then."

If your prom was magical, awkward or embarrassing and you have the photos to show for it then we want you to share them. We’re even nominating winners for six categories (if we get enough entries). So blow the dust off your memory box, scan in those pictures and send them our way.

Send in any of your old prom photos or pick one that fits a category below. Either upload them here or email them to Editor Lon Cohen at lon.cohen@patch.com.

Special categories:

• A prom picture of you wearing a powder blue tuxedo (Male)
• Biggest hairdo (Female)
• Oldest prom picture (Please add the year it was taken)
• Most embarrassing prom photo (Male or Female – final decision will be made by a committee of Patch editors who like to laugh at embarrassing old prom photos)
• Most interesting limo
• King and Queen of the prom
