Forget the World Cup. For a group of 100 hairy men, the year's real competition is already over -- Saturday's German Beard World Championship gave them the chance to show off their spectacular whiskers. About 100 bearded men have been preening, waxing, curling, washing, varnishing, brushing and combing their copious facial hair in a bid for glory at the International German Beard World Championship in the village of Schoemberg in southern Germany, where various categories were judged, including chin beards, full beards, moutaches and whiskers.
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.
