Held every year since DEF CON 19 in 2011 (R.I.P. Riviera), (Except during that COVID thing - but we are not going to talk about that COVID thing), the DEF CON Beard and Mustache Contest highlights the intersection of facial hair and hacker culture.
For 2023 there will be three categories for the competition:
Full beard: Self-explanatory, for the truly bearded.
Partial Beard or Mustache only (combined this year)
For those sporting Van Dykes, Goatees, Mutton Chops, and other
partial beard styles -or-
Mustache only: Judging on the mustache 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.
