Sloppy Joe's 27th Annual Hemingway Look-Alike Contest

Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West, Florida hosted its 27th Annual Hemingway Look-Alike contest last weekend. The contest is one of many events in Key West to celebrate the birthday of Ernst Hemingway and honour his work as author and sportsman.

The competition started with the first preliminary round on Thursday, July 19th, second preliminary round on Friday, July 20th, and finals on Saturday, July 21st.

From each preliminary round finalists were chosen. This year’s competition saw over 130 Look-Alikes take the stage with twelve contestants from Thursday night and thirteen from Friday night going on to the final round.

Jamie was overjoyed to take away the first prize, he has always thought that he looked like Hemingway but know he is considering making this his full time career. He has signed up with Celebrity Lookalike agency, Mortlock Lookalikes, headed by the worlds best Ian Huntley & Jack Dee lookalike, Christopher Mortlock.
