Over the years, Whataburger has seen fans ask their dates to prom by pulling out all the stops with Whataburger-themed "promposals," and this year the company is treating its biggest teen fans to a prom experience to remember.

One winner and his or her date will receive a special prom package for themselves and 10 friends including limo rental, orange corsages and boutonnieres, a professional photographer and a linen tablecloth dinner at Whataburger, according to a company press release.

How it works

1. Fans in grades nine through 12 take a picture or video of their "promposal"
2. Post the picture on the brand’s Facebook wall or tag a picture or video on Twitter and/or Instagram with the hashtag #WhataProm
3. Fans with the most creative "promposal" will have a shot at winning the ultimate Whataburger prom experience

"We've been blown away in past years by the amazingly over-the-top productions students create to ask their dates to one of the most memorable events of high school — prom," said Whataburger VP of Communications Pam Cox. "We can't wait to see what our fans bring to the table this year, and we're ready to treat them to an experience they won’t forget."

The contest closes at 11:59 p.m., April 11, 2016, and the winner will be announced later that week, Cox said.
