Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The Great American Beard and Moustache Competition was a hair-raising experience, and it raised the eyebrows — and ire — of a few whisker fans who caught our slideshow. Says Jeff:
This used to be cool but hipsters have ruined the beard.
Adds Samuel:
Some of these are absolutely ridiculous, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If they're happy, all the power to them.
What do you think of the beards at this contest? You be the judge: See our Great American Beard and Moustache Competition slideshow.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
