The existence of The Indie 500 crossword tournament was announced at Lollapuzzoola 7 last weekend. The details of the tournament are being hashed out, but it will take place in May 2015 in the Washington D.C. area and the puzzles will be constructed by Andy Kravis, Erik Agard, Evan Birnholz, Neville Fogarty, Peter Broda, and a sixth “suitably indie” constructor to be determined by an open call for submissions.
The tournament website has gone live and more details will be posted on the site in the coming months.
