Artist Anthony Padgett is inviting residents to enter an Eric Morecambe Look-a-like Remix Art competition.
The competition will take place on Saturday, June 13 at Morecambe's Winter Gardens.
Entrants have to be 18+ and the competition is from noon with judging at 3pm.
The first 50 entrants get £40 after the judging - though there is no prize for the winner.
Entrants have to bring proof of Morecambe address and ID.
Entrants will be photographed and these will then be submitted to Morecambe Town Council to use as frames in their upcoming Eric Morecambe Film Strip sculpture at Morecambe train station.
The novel competition is part of the Second Morecambe People's Biennial and the sixth Morecambe Bay Art Fair on Saturday June 13 and Sunday June 14, noon to 4pm daily. Entry is free.
Anthony said: “We have an amazing showing of paintings and sculptures by top artists including Peter & Angela Carrdus, Hannah Corbett, Walter Michael DeForest, Sara Dobson, Rebecca Findlay, Alex Harrison, Amanda Henderson, Martes Moon, Eric Peasey, Lidia Ranns, Reed Studio, Robin Ross, Sarah Walkley, Helen Williams and Anthony Padgett."
"The People's Biennial is not just pictures on the wall, its about art as a way of life. Traditional, contemporary and modern art. Experimental and traditional."
