Jeff Goldblum costume contest May 18
Few actors working in Hollywood today are as unique, perplexing, eccentric or plain funny as Goldblum. What better way to honor his quirkiness than a Jeff Goldblum costume contest? Winning categories in the costume contest are: Best Jeff Goldblum Look-Alike, Best Jeff Goldblum Character and Best Supporting Character from a Jeff Goldblum film. Need inspiration? The Alys Stephens Center has compiled a list of popular Goldblum appearances to spark entrants’ creativity.
This contest is completely social media-driven. Participants are encouraged to arrive at The Lab Bar and Kitchen, 808 20th St. South, between 6 and 8 p.m. Saturday, May 18. Registration is $5. An ASC staff member will take each participant’s photo and upload it to the Jeff Goldblum Costume Contest Facebook page. Those who like/follow the Alys Stephens Center’s Facebook page will be able to vote by “liking” their favorite photos. Winners will be selected based on the number of “Likes” and announced at 9 p.m. Prizes include ASC membership, tickets to the Viva Health Starlight Gala and more.
