TL;DR Summary

Over 100 men gathered in Key West, Florida, for the annual Ernest Hemingway look-alike contest, part of the Hemingway Days festival. The contestants, who bear a resemblance to the late author, compete in a three-night contest at Sloppy Joe's Bar, wearing safari gear or wool turtleneck sweaters. The festival celebrates Hemingway's literary contributions and includes literary readings, a marlin tournament, a street fair, and a "Running of the Bulls" spoof. Hemingway's former Key West home, where he did some of his most notable writing, is now a museum.
