IT\u2019S time to put the razor away, the Ballarat Beard & Stache Competition is on again.<\/p>\n

Judged on May 29, the annual event celebrates beards and moustaches of all kinds, with several categories for flair with facial hair. With more than $1000 in prizes the Beard & Stache Competition is one not to be missed.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Also on offer is a Just For Fun glass for those a bit naturally less hirsute.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The competition is a favourite not only locally, but with those far and wide. Entrants head to the city each year to show off their well-groomed creations. Last year, a strong contingent of entrants were on show virtually.<\/p>\n

Now we can gather safely and within COVID-19 guidelines, punters are invited to attend the competition in person at Hop Temple. This amazing venue, tucked down a laneway, ensures that this event promises good food, good beer and good beards, in one of the city\u2019s most beautiful buildings in one of the most vibrant precincts.<\/p>\n

Categories include Full Beard Natural (20cm to infinity), Full Beard Natural (10cm to 20cm), Verdi (styled, 10cm and under), Moustache and Partial Beard.<\/p>\n

There will also be a Just For Fun (freestyle) category for ladies, gentleman and children who want to display their own creativity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to coming back together, in person, to see some of the finest beards and moustaches on offer,\u201d said organiser Brayden Dorney.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany used isolation last year as a prime opportunity to have a go at growing a mo, or a full face of hair. We hope to see a return of our favourite beards and staches as well as a new cohort of hairy individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n
