“But I don’t have a Beard!”

Which is great fun for children and beardless men and women 😉 And yes there is a Category called “False Beard Freestyle” for you to enter your beard in 🙂
There will also be Beard portrait photographers in the venue with their cameras eager to capture your beard in all its magnificence!
Dress to impress!
Your beard will be judged with beards that will be similar to your own, sometimes the difference between two closely competing beards is how well yours is presented… a quick internet search of other beard competitions may help inspire you with your ‘look’.

Each Beard Style category will be paraded in front of the public and have a winner chosen by the Beard Judging panel, then the Beard Style Category winners go through to compete for the accolade of “Yorkshire Beard of the Year 2024” an element of which is decided by public vote.
Secret spotter prizes will also be awarded throughout the day… could you be the slug balancing champion?
After the awards and the bragging rites have been handed out the celebrations will continue late into the night with “Cardboard Sideburns” an eclectic electro clicks beeps and beats night for the bearded…get your sparkle on!
Everyone who enters the Beard Competition will have their beard photographed and their image placed on the “Beard Gallery Wall of the Hirsute” so the public can discuss and pick their favourites before, during and after the Official Judging of the Beard competition.
