Hemingway Look-Alike Contest planned for July 22-24 in Key West

Dozens of stocky, bearded men resembling Ernest Hemingway are to return to Key West for the 2021 Hemingway Look-Alike Contest, after the global coronavirus pandemic preempted the 2020 competition. Organizers announced recently that this summer’s contest is scheduled July 22-24 at Sloppy Joe’s Bar, where it began some 40 years ago. Preliminary rounds are slated for Thursday and Friday, July 22-23, with a reduced entry field of 35 contestants each night. The winner will be chosen Saturday, July 24, from about 24 finalists. “In (the) past we’ve had upwards of 85 contestants in our preliminary rounds, meaning 85 on Thursday, 85 on Friday,” said Donna Edwards, the competition’s organizer. “We’re limiting the number of contestants at this time; we want to make sure that we’re able to put on a great show and a safe show.”
