World Freestyle Beard Champion

Elmar Weissar of Germany beat 160 competitors from 15 countries for this title. The event took place over the weekend in Trondheim, northern Norway (with homage to the local reindeer, not to mention the Norwegian flag--below-- found in Weisser's beard).


Hier ist ein besseres Foto:

Kannst du die Fahne von Norwegen und auch ein Renntier in dem Bart!?

Germany also won in the "Partial Beard, Freestyle" category with Dieter Besuch's symmetry.


Germany took home 7 gold medals; the USA captured 6.

The politics behind this competition are to put an end to the discrimination of those with facial hair.

--> Wo darf man keinen Bart haben? (Also, bei den New York Yankees... und sonst wo?)

  4. This is so cool! My dad told me they do this to promote the concept of the beard. He said that beards are looked down upon as something a country bumpkin would have. I don't understand why they would think that. I'm impressed that the US brought home 6 gold medals. It must take a lot of hair spray to make those designs.

  5. I've never heard of this contest before. I really like the first guy's beard. I think he had a mountain goat on the closest side to the camera. The other guy that they showed was really cool too.
