National Beard Week 2021: Positive Images of the hirsute
National Beard Week, organised by the Beard Liberation Front, an informal network of beard wearers, will run from June 21st to June 26th.
It is a long standing annual event designed to highlight positive images of hirsuteness and to call out beard haters- pogonophobes.
A summary of the 2020 results is below. They were achieved by a mixture of social media polls and, for more specialised areas such as Beard Friendly Employer, careful checks by BLF researchers.
There is no question that historian David Olusoga, broadcasters William Crawley and George Aligiah and author Michael Rosen were outstanding examples of excellence not just in their professional areas of expertise but in promoting positive images of the hirsute.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, beards are making progress and National Beard Week 2021 will aim to see more made
