Sporting beards bristle in Beard of Spring shortlist
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that voting is now open for the coveted Beard of Spring Award.
Beard of Spring is the second of four seasonal awards that lead to the Beard of the Year in December.
The campaigners say that while the second seasonal award of the year traditionally focuses on new beard growth with Easter so late, the focus is more on those whose beards have appeared in a positive public light during the quarter.
With the cessation of sport because of COVID-19 the list contains rather more sporting beards than usual.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the short list for Beard of Spring has a majority who have never appeared before so it will be interesting to see how the public vote goes
The vote is open now and will close at midday on Good Friday, with the winner announced on Easter Saturday
