Come hungry! Lobstermania… lobster fritters, cracked lobster, lobster quesadillas, lobster bisque, and even lobster pizza will all be added to the menu.

Sponsored by Deli Lane Café and Sunset Tavern in South Miami, this year’s competition has a few new twists: There is a $50 cash prize for the lightest legal lobster. You can also submit your best 2014 mini-season photo to the Miami Spiny Lobster Photo Contest. Guests attending the weigh in party will vote to determine the first $100, and second $50 place photos. There is a $10 fee per photo submitted. As in years past there are two divisions: adults and kids. Calling all lady divers, young and younger. We have never had a Lobster Queen. This is your chance to make history.

Profits from this exciting event will benefit Stiltsville. The organization offers opportunities for youth groups and others to learn about preserving Biscayne Bay and Biscayne National Park while enjoying the beauty of both spending time at Stiltsville.
