Bearded men gathered together for the world beard and moustache championships on Saturday, October 25th at the Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon.
The event comprised 17 categories, including full natural beard, freestyle full beard and the ‘garibaldi’, a broad, full and round beard no longer than 20 centimetres. Almost 300 contestants sporting bushy, fuzzy or delicately wispy hair took part in the competition from across nine countries.
Professional photographer Craig Mitchelldyer captured beautiful photos of the contestants for Just for Men. Mitchelldyer’s full series of images from the world championship can be viewed on his blog.
