What is Your News Year’s Resolution? How About Growing a Beard or Mustache to Win a Contest?

Every year multiple facial hair growing contests take place around the world. Why not start the new year off right by working on your entry into one or more of the contests?

While this is not a comprehensive list of every contest held around the globe, this list should give you a great starting point. If you plan on entering, are already participating in a contest or know about a contest not on this list, please let us know in the comment section.

Please note that some contest websites may be shut down for the holidays and will be updating contest information after the new year, or as the start time for the contest approaches.
