Has there ever been a more suitable time than 2018 for fire-honed and razor-edged journalism in the tradition of the late Hunter S. Thompson?

CALL FOR ENTRIES!

Together with the Louisville Public Library and BiblioBoard, we're celebrating the national expansion of the GonzoFest Literary Contest and invite all public libraries, their independent authors, and writer communities to enter a single piece of literary nonfiction journalism in the tradition of Hunter S. Thompson. 

The winning entry will be considered for publication in the GonzoFest edition of the Louisville Eccentric Observer, Louisville’s venerable alternative weekly.  The author will also be honored during the festival, and receive a $1,000 CASH PRIZE, thanks to contest sponsor BiblioBoard.

For more information, please visit the 2018 literary contest website, or direct your questions to the Contest Coordinator — Michael Lindenberger of The Dallas Morning News at mlindenberger@dallasnews.com. 

GonzoFest Louisville is a literary and music festival honoring Hunter S. Thompson, as well as the lasting mark he has made on art, music, and literature. Through live music, poetry, art, spoken word and more, GonzoFest Louisville celebrates the life and times of Hunter S. Thompson in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. 2018 will mark the eighth year of the festival, which will be held on Saturday, April 14 at Louisville Free Public Library.
