On Saturday, 1 October 2005, the World Beard and Moustache Championships were held in Berlin, Germany. There were 17 different categories and over 230 men participated in this biannual event. Yahoo did a photo slide show from this year’s event.

I’ve included a couple of pictures to show you what some of the contestants looked like. Be sure to visit the official website to learn more about the Beard and Moustache Categories, the results from 2003′s competition in Carson City, Nevada, and especially THE GALLERY!
