Do you look like Ernest Hemingway? If so, you might be interested in this year's Ernest Hemingway Look-Alike Contest to be held in July at Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West, Florida. Hemingway was once a resident of Key West and his former home and office is open for tours.

According to the Miami Herald:
The Papas will return to the Florida Keys this year.
A crowd resembling author Ernest Hemingway, most likely sporting white beards and berets, will return to Key West this summer as the island continues to roll out a list of festivals that were scratched in 2020 due to COVID-19.
The 40th Hemingway Look-Alike Contest, which is part of the Hemingway Days festival, is back on July 22-24 at Sloppy Joe’s Bar on Duval Street, where it all began.
The 2020 edition, an annual event that celebrates the author who called the island home in the 1930s and whose house is now a museum, was canceled last year because of the pandemic. This year’s competition has a limited number of spots for contestants to maintain COVID health protocols.
