ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – (Aug. 2, 2010) – Got a face that can launch a thousand ships? Did you get in trouble as a kid for making faces? If so, that mug just might win you some cash and a place in history from Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Atlantic City.
Ripley’s is looking for contestants for its 14th annual Great Face Off. The contest is to find the person who can make the funniest, silliest, weirdest, creepiest or craziest face.
