Beard of the Year Vote enters final week
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the process of determining the Beard of the Year 2019 is underway. The on-line poll to determine the winner is open and will close on December 24th
The winner is announced on December 28th following an Electoral College review of the poll leaders. This has become necessary in recent years because of bot activity on the poll
The criteria for Beard of the Year is as follows:
The Award is NOT about people who grow beards in their bedrooms and post pictures of them on the internet
The Award IS about people with consistent beards in the public eye who promote a positive image of the hirsute
TV doctor Xand Van Tulleken and cosmologist Peter Coles currently at Maynooth University in Ireland shared the Award in 2018.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, its splitting hairs time in the crucial last week of voting for Beard of the Year 2019. Whose beard will ultimately flourish the most is up to the voters and the Electoral College.
