When you think of the word beard, what do you think of?
Kittens? No. Lollipops? No. The cutest shoes ever? No!
You think Man. So it is only appropriate that men around the world attempt to grow out their facial hair in a competition for the best beard and moustaches ever grown.

Yes, it’s very manly and very necessary. It is believed that the competition was started in Germany in the early 1990s, but of course, there are differing opinions on that. Some people say that it was started in Italy in 1970, but we all know that beards are really grown in Germany, so we’ll disregard the Italians claim as pure fiction.
The competition has been held biennially since 1995 and been held in a different country each time. Specific, well-known beard and moustache organizations from the host country put on the event for the competitors.
Germany has dominated the sport since it began, but in 2009 the U.S. team won in Anchorage, Alaska. U.S. became the first team to overthrow the power house since the event’s inception.
The individual categories contestants are judged seem uncountable. Contestants enter competitions for their sideburns, their moustaches, their half-moustaches, their half-beards, their full-beards and much more. One category is actually based off of the look of a musketeer. When the U.S. won the world championship, the team captured twelve of the eighteen categories along with the overall world championship title.
Men of honor, pride and facial hair go forth and conquer the world competition for this is your day to shine. Make sure your lady is all right with it first though, as some aren’t very fond of the all that fuzz.
