The biggest day in competitive eating is this Sunday, when the eyes of the world turn to Coney Island for the annual Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest. They say it's been held every year since 1916, and if you've ever tried to attend, you know that it can get a tad crowded. But we're offering you and your lucky date a way around all that, with two VIP passes giving you prime seating in the media section, where the air is always sweeter and the frankfurters taste like ambrosia.

Of course, there's a catch. We want you to take some photos and tell us about your experience, as soon as humanly possible after the event. (We'd go ourselves, but we have a feeling we'll still be recovering from Canada Day.) So if watching people in the world's richest nation shovel food down their throats for sport is what you're into, drop us a line at tips(at)gothamist(dot)com by 5 p.m. and let us know why you're the best candidate. (No attachments! And we'll let you know by 6 p.m.) You'll have to come pick up the passes tomorrow at our DUMBO office, but to make it worth your while we'll throw in this bottle of Pepto-Bismol that came with them.
