CONTESTS

Tattoo Contest
Friday: Noon–1pm / Autograph Tent
It’s time to show some skin and pledge your pride to the Juggalo side! The world famous Gathering
of the Juggalos tattoo contest returns! Show off your best ink and body art in the Freakshow Tent,
where you will be proudly displayed and on stage like the work of art you are. No matter what or
where your tattoos are, bring ‘em to the stage and strut your stuff, as we prepare to determine
the best of the best before a crowd of your Juggalo homies! Prizes: 1st Place—GOTJ Gold Plaque,
Collectors GOTJ Amulet and $100 gift certificate; 2nd Place—$50 gift certificate; and 3rd
Place—$20 gift certificate. Those wishing to compete should show up at least 15 minutes before the
contest begins.

Juggalo Family Feud
Friday: Noon–2pm / The Kapow Club
Its back again like herpes simplex Z…its Juggalo Family Feud! In order to compete, gather a crew of
4 or 5 of your homies and head over to the Kapow Club to battle face to face with another crew to
see who will come out on top and who will leave the stage in humiliating defeat! During the game, your
crew will try to give the top answers to questions surveyed to 100 Juggalos! The first crew to reach
300 points wins the game and earns the right to move on to the fast money round, for a chance to
win a $200 gift certificate! Each member of the winning crew will also win a Collectors GOTJ amulet.
Survey says…“I’m dope, hoe!”

Juggalo Gong Show
Friday: 1–2pm / Shazam Stage
This wildly fun, albeit underrated, game show hosted by the ambiguously gay Chuck Bareass is an
elaborate production to say the least. Anyone can compete by taking the stage to display whatever
talent they possess; be it jump roping, clenching a 2-liter in your butt cheeks, burp singing, playing an
instrument, a backflip presentation, etc. (but please no rapping). You can perform for up to 2 minutes
alone or with friends. If you don’t school it, you may get gonged, but last till the end and the judges
will rate your performance, with the top scores winning! Did we mention there will also be tearful
man babies, mallet-wielding exotic dancers, glitter showers, scantily clad Bronies, balloon animals,
and giant inflatable puppets!?! Prizes: 1st Place—GOTJ Gold Plaque, Collectors GOTJ Amulet, Mr. T’s
Latex Headpiece with Sideburns, and an empty Gray Poupon Jar filled with $62.47; 2nd Place—$80
gift certificate, Pair of BluBlocker sunglasses, and a lap dance from a Gong Show dancer; and 3rd
Place—Mystery gift. Those wishing to compete should show up at least 15 minutes before the
contest begins. Music will be provided if needed (feel free to bring your own).

Flow Master Rap Battle
Friday: 4–6pm / The Kapow Club
Are you ready to see just how good your raps really are? Here is where verbal assassins gather in a
competition that will put their rap abilities to the ultimate test! It is a mental warfare of creativity,
skill, and confidence, with the ultimate casualties being that of pride, dignity, and humility. Many
will stand upon the staged arena but only one will remain in the end as the champion of MCs…. Could
this be you? For this contest, rappers will first freestyle for 30 seconds to a provided beat. Those
deemed worthy by the judges will then move into an elimination style battle, where two rappers at
a time will compete directly against each other. In the end, there can be only one! Prizes: 1stPlace—
GOTJ Gold Plaque, Collectors GOTJ Amulet and $300 in cash; 2nd Place—$100 gift certificate; and
3rd Place—$50 gift certificate. Those wishing to compete should show up at least 15 minutes before
the contest begins.

Costume Contest
Friday: 5–6pm / Freakshow Tent
This is a spectacle the likes of which will need to be seen to be believed. Come witness a parade of
costumed visionaries who have transformed themselves into the embodiment of their wildest (and
wickedest) imaginations. Here you will see everything from a sword-wielding ninja giraffe to a blood-
splattered Santa “Claws” with a gift bag of severed body parts. This is one of the greatest traditions
at the Gathering each year and is a wonderful way to showcase the amazing talent and imagination
that our family has to offer. Prizes: 1st Place—GOTJ Gold Plaque, Collectors GOTJ Amulet, and $100
gift certificate; 2nd Place—$100 gift certificate; and 3rd Place—$50 gift certificate. Those wishing
to compete should show up at least 15 minutes before the contest begins. A private dressing area will
be provided.
