Some came in fisherman’s sweaters. Others wore sportsmen’s attire. But it was the cream-colored sweater of the attorney Jon Auvil that caught the eye of judges who awarded him a coveted title on Saturday, for most resembling author and former Key West resident Ernest Hemingway.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Auvil triumphed over 124 other contestants in the 41st annual Hemingway Look-Alike Contest at Sloppy Joe’s Bar, the Key West establishment where the author was a regular boss during his decade-long residence on the island in the 1930s.<\/p>\n

The look-a-like contest is a highlight of Key West’s annual Hemingway Days celebration, which ended on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Auvil said he shared Hemingway’s passion for fishing, had written some fiction and would like to do more writing.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery man wants to write like Hemingway,\u201d said Auvil, who lives in Dade City, Florida, north-east of Tampa.<\/p>\n

While living in Key West, Hemingway wrote classics, including For Whom the Bell Tolls and To Have and Have Not.<\/p>\n

The Hemingway Look-Alike Contest was first staged in 1981. It was not staged in 2020, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Previous winners of the Hemingway Look-Alike Contest at Sloppy Joe’s include Michael Groover, he husband of celebrity chef Paula Deen who won the title in 2018 after nine tries.<\/p>\n

In 2016, the competition made headlines when it was won by a Hemingway, namely Dave Hemingway of Macon, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Dave Hemingway said then that like the author, he liked to fish and drink \u201cand I like women. I like having a good time. I do feel like Ernest because I’m in the town he lived in so many years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
