Close shave beckons as 4 bristle for places in final ‘Beard Off’ vote for Beard of Winter 2021
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that competition is bristling for the annual Beard of Winter accolade. The vote is open now and closes at midnight on Friday.
Author Michael Rosen and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales have a narrow lead over actor Brian Blessed and cricket broadcaster Daniel Norcross
The Beard of Winter is the first of four seasonal awards that lead to the Beard of the Year Award in December 2021.
The Beard of Winter focuses both on fuller organic beards, suitable for winter weather, but also on beards that have made an early New Year impact in the public eye.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, competition is bristling for the Beard of Winter, and the result will be a close shave.
The new blended Twitter and web based poll will be in use.
There were two ‘Trim-Off’ rounds from 17-20 January and then from 21-24 January. Each featured four contenders. The top two from each round now feature in a final ‘Beard-Off’ vote from 25-29th January
