Held every year since DEF CON 19 in 2011, the DEF CON Beard and Moustache Contest highlights the intersection of facial hair and hacker culture. Fun and frivolity, for those with or without facial hair.
There will once again be three categories:
- Full beard: Self-explanatory, for the truly bearded. Partial Beard or Moustache only (combined category) - For those sporting Van Dykes, Goatees, Mutton Chops, and other partial beard styles.
- Moustache only: Judging on the moustache only, even if bearded. Bring your Handlebars, Fu Manchus, or whatever adorns your upper lip.
- Freestyle: Anything goes, including fake and creatively adorned beards. Creative women often do well in the Freestyle category.
