A bearded young man, Michael McCormick of Madison, was crowned the "The Mud King." He is covered in dark mud from the banks of nearby Rowan Creek holding a plant while walking through the audience at the Sound Storm music festival. Behind him a naked man and others with mud on their clothes are following him. In the foreground is a man with a camera.
