About 100 bearded men preened, waxed, curled, washed, varnished, brushed and combed their copious facial hair in a bid for glory at the International German Beard World Championship in the northern town of Hesel.
The competition allows 16 categories of beards, the most popular one being freestyle because it sets no limits on creativity. One contestant came with a bushy beard shaped like a windmill.
Contestants sporting Chinese-style beards — two long strands drooping down far below the chin, were virtually assured of an award because only a few men showed up with that particular style.
Take a look at 24 photos from the competition!

The title was probably already corrected because of Oxy’s comment by the time you read that, UR-FRIEND.
The windmill beard is clearly the winner here.
