Beard and Mustache Competition

Who doesn’t love a dapper person with a well groomed face full of perfectly coiffed hair? Whiskers are amazing, and if you’ve got a glorious face full of them, this is the competition to show them off!

Judges will be choosing winners in the categories of:

• Best Mustache
• Best Mustache/Beard Combination
• Best Themed Whiskers
• Best Fantasy (Fake) Facial Hair

Anything goes in terms of creativity and decoration! This will not be a grooming competition-instead, contestants should have their facial hair pre-groomed and ready for admiration.

Contestants:

Any individual with facial hair are welcome to participate in the competition.

Contest Rules:

• Contestants can have real or faux facial hair, though the faux facial hair can only win in the fantasy (fake) facial hair category.
• Contestants may participate in more than one category (Best Mustache and Best Themed Whiskers, for example). Judging is separate for each category.
• Mustaches/beards should be pre-groomed before the contest.
• Embellishments are accepted and encouraged in any category. Creativity is very much encouraged and one may use anything to decorate or sculpt their whiskers.
• Any type of grooming aid is permissible. This includes curling irons, pomades, oils, and waxes.
• Contestants should prepare a short introduction for themselves.
• Contestants must be willing to be photographed during and after the event by a Symposium photographer.

Awards:

• Best Mustache
• Best Mustache/Beard Combination
• Best Themed Whiskers
• Best Fantasy (Fake) Facial Hair
