The Papa Look-Alike Contest

Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West will host its 30th Annual Hemingway Look-Alike contest July 22-24, 2010. The contest is one of many events in Key West to celebrate the birthday of Ernest Hemingway and honor his work as author and sportsman.

The competition starts with the first preliminary round on Thursday, July 22nd, second preliminary round on Friday, July 23rd, and finals on Saturday, July 24th.

From each preliminary round finalists are chosen. Last year's competition had 146 Look-Alikes taking the stage with 17 contestants from Thursday night preliminary and 13 from Friday night preliminary going on to the final round.

Look-Alikes are everywhere, it's a load of fun! Come early, get a good seat and watch the competition.

After the finals, the party spills over into the streets, where the Street Fair on Duval continues with food, drinks, entertainment and fun for everyone!

The infamous Ernest Hemingway Look-Alike Society invites you to join the Society. They will be at Sloppy Joe's to sign-up new members.
