The Belt

Well the Beardoff belt has been awarded. Thanks MC for your outstanding craftsmanship. I am going to take this opportunity to announce my retirement from Beardoff competition. At this point in my career, I feel I should hang it up, spend more time with my family and enjoy the benefits of having a full bushy beard. All new challenges should be referred to Mike Stubble. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you Stubble, for your gracious congratulations. You ran a tough campaign with integrity, which often seems to be lacking in these recent times. I have to admit I am surprised. Most of the competition, I felt I was in the shadow of Mike's dark and ferocious facial hair. But we left the voting up to the people, and the people have spoken, so let it be so. I humbly accept the title and thank everybody for their support and votes, including those who chose to support my competitor. We were happy to have your participation.

Let me be the first to congradulate El Barbudo. It was an intense battle and he has proved himself a Beardmaster. Look forward to photos from the belt presentation next week.

Voting extended

Due to high demand the voting has been extended until midnight on Friday, but don't wait. Vote now.
