The World’s Most Epic Beards And Moustaches Just Competed In An Epic Event

Beard Championships

The 2015 World Beard And Moustache Championships, held in the town of Leogang in the Austrian mountains, is back and it features some of the crazies, original and epic beards and moustaches ever designed.

Over 300 bearded and moustachioed men from 20 different countries traveled to the small alpine town to compete in the competition.

Contestants compete in 18 categories across three divisions; Moustaches, Partial Beards and Full Beards.

Each category has three prizes up for grabs

Austrian photojournalist Jan Heitfleisch captured photos of the event.

There were many styles of beard on hand for the competition.

The intricacy of each beard can get pretty crazy.

Competitors of all ages took part in the world championships.

How would you like to style this beard and moustache every single day.

In fact here’s a quick look at the styling that goes into each beard.
