These Are Officially The Best Beards And Moustaches In America
The fourth annual National Beard and Moustache Championships, sponsored by Just for Men, took place a few weeks ago in New Orleans and one photographer was there to capture all the action. Greg Anderson, a commercial photographer based in Las Vegas, took portraits that showcase the contestants' bizarre and incredible facial hair in never before-seen glory.
More than 150 people competed in the championship in 17 categories, including Amish, natural full-beards, free-style, imperial moustache, and English moustache.
"After spending two days with the contestants, I realized most of them originally came to the competition out of curiosity and they come back every year for the comraderie," Anderson told Business Insider. "They're serious about the competition, but even more serious about catching up with old friends and having a great time."
