Best Beard of Lockdown poll: Vote closes midday Friday 24th July
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said with the voting set to close in the one-off poll to find the best beard of lockdown on Friday, lockdown beards are bristling for the top places
Lockdown has seen numbers grow a beard, as they were working from home in many cases, and hairdressers and barbers were shut.
The campaigners say that its usual quarterly and annual votes for the best beard emphasise their positive impact in the public eye. By definition, such an impact has been very limited during lockdown.
With communication via Zoom, Skype and Teams, it has been possible to identify some contenders for Beard of Lockdown.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we believe that a key summer style 2020 is the lockdown beard and by Friday at noon we’ll have a good idea of who the role models are.
The vote will close at midday on Friday 24th July
