The Liars Contest (a contest of tall tales) will take place at the second annual Susquehanna Folk Festival on Sunday, July 28, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at Roundtop Mountain Resort, 925 Roundtop Mountain Road, Lewisberry. The contest's master of ceremonies will be Bil Lepp, five-time champion of the West Virginia Liars' Contest.
The Liars Contest is a juried competition. Storytellers must apply and submit a video representative of their work. Ten contestants will be selected to participate in the competition at the festival. Each contestant will receive two complimentary Sunday festival tickets.
At the competition, each contestant will have seven minutes on stage to tell a humorous, family-friendly story. A panel of three expert judges will award cash prizes to the top three liars.
Applications must be submitted by Saturday, June 1. Submissions must include a link to a video representative of the contestant's work, but it need not be the story they compete with. The 10 finalists will be contacted by Saturday, June 15. To apply, readers may visit http://www.susquehannafolkfestival.org/liars-contest. For more details, readers may call 717-745-6577. The Folk Festival will run from Friday, July 26, through Sunday, July 28.
