Fest fIND 2014 has begun!

by Walter Pierce

It's on, y'all. Fest fIND, our annual Festival International de Louisiana reader contest, is now accepting photo submissions.

Really Bad Photo Illustration (but you get the point)

IND Co-Publisher Steve May, center, likes to remind us he's No. 1 when we take fake group photos. Because he is No. 1.

It's on, y'all. Fest fIND, our annual Festival International de Louisiana reader contest, is now accepting photo submissions for the Throwback Thursday part of the contest: photos of you and your friends at FILs past, like the fake, poorly Photoshopped image of The IND krewe above.

Email your Throwback Thursday to [email protected] between now and, say, 1 p.m. Thursday. We'll select a winner based on our secret, random criteria and announce it at 3 p.m. on Facebook. The winner can claim his/her prize pack - a backpack stuffed chockablock full of Festival International and LUS Fiber gear, Brother Dege's latest CD How to Kill a Horse, Sassafras Jubilee's brand-spanking new CD Long Time Coming and gift certificates to Pat's Downtown and Jefferson Street Pub - between 5:45-6 p.m. Thursday at our office on the 500 block of Jefferson Street Downtown.
