Jeremy Clarkson’s place on Beard of Spring 2021 shortlist not guaranteed
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that despite the fact that Jeremy Clarkson has grown a lockdown #3 beard, his place on the Beard of Spring 2021 shortlist is not guaranteed.
Clarkson has beard history and it is not always positive.
He grew a beard in 2014 but by 2015 he was writing in a tabloid paper in 2015 that people with beards should be arrested. It appears however that he did not turn himself into police.
The shortlist for Beard of Spring 2021 will be unveiled on 17th March and the winner announced after a public on-line vote on Easter weekend.
It is the second seasonal vote of 2021 that goes towards the Beard of the Year vote in December 2021
Those on the shortlist must have promoted a positive image of the hirsute in the public eye during the quarter. They don’t need to have a permanent full-time beard.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Jeremy Clarkson’s beard represents a challenge. Is he promoting a positive image of hirsuteness?
