Celebrity lookalike contests are all the rage, and now it’s Austin’s turn to shine! Our city—famous for tech titans, quirky podcasters, and Hollywood glitz—is hosting a competition with a local twist. This Sunday, November 24th, Auditorium Shores at Lady Bird Lake will transform into the ultimate runway for all things Glen Powell!
Think you’ve got the charm, charisma, and jawline to match Austin’s hometown heartthrob? Then step up at 1 PM and see if you have what it takes to be crowned “The Newest Glen Powell of ATX!” No RSVP needed—just show up and channel your inner Glen.
The Perks of Being Glen Powell 2.0:
Organizer Kate Carpenter says the winner will walk away with a “cowboy hat crown”, “some money”, and eternal bragging rights. The prize pool will grow depending on how impressed the judges (a.k.a. Kate and her friends Henry Long, Emma Swarts, and Lucca Sgro) are by the Powell impersonators who show up!
This fabulous event was inspired by a wave of celebrity doppelgänger contests popping up in cities worldwide. Carpenter and crew decided Austin couldn’t miss out on the fun—and who better to honor than Glen Powell?
Who is Glen Powell, Anyway?
If you need a refresher, Glen Powell is one of Austin’s favorite nativies. He’s the star of hits like “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Twisters,” and “Anyone But You.” Recently, he’s returned to his roots, calling Austin home again while wrapping up his degree at UT Austin.
So, grab your aviators, perfect that grin, and head to Auditorium Shores this Sunday. Whether you’re competing or cheering on the lookalikes, it’s bound to be a quintessentially Austin event. Who knows—you might just catch a glimpse of the real Glen Powell stopping by to crown his doppelgänger!
