Calling all donut lovers – particularly those who love eating a pile of donuts, without using their hands, as fast as humanly possible.

We're looking for six people (and two alternates) to compete in the donut eating contest during the OnMilwaukee Donut & Coffee Fest . The event takes place Sunday, April 7, at Turner Hall, 1034 Vel Phillips Ave. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the donut eating contest, sponsored by Summerfest, starts promptly at 11:30 on the Turner Hall stage.

Tickets are still available, but the first eight people to sign up for the contest get in for free.

Participants will attempt to be the first to eat 20 Happy Dough Lucky donuts without the use of their hands or utensils. The winner will receive a donut medallion and a Summerfest PowerPass.

Sign up to compete here . Participants must be at least 18 years old to enter. We'll notify the first eight people via email on Monday, March 25.
