Other facial related competitions around the world
Gurning is one of the most well-known contests relating to facial expressions. However, there are Other facial related competitions around the world. Anchorage, Alaska was proud to host the World Beard and Moustache Championships in 2009. However, the contest takes place in a different location each year, chosen by the special committee which organises the championships.
In this contest, facial hair is divided into four categories; these include moustaches and beards, as well as partial beards, such as goatees. The final contest category is side burns. Prizes are awarded in several sub-categories. The World Beard and Moustache Championships is held every two years and Trondheim, Norway, is proud to host the 2011 event.
A further example of Other facial related competitions around the world can also be found in Anchorage. The city hosts the Mr Fur Face contest each year. This contest differs in that beards are mostly divided by colour, though awards are given by facial hair type too.
The winners are chosen by judges, but some of the female members of the audience are permitted to fondle the contestant’s beards. There’s no doubt that the success of the Mr Fur Face contest led to the award of the World Beard and Moustache Championships in 2009.
