National Beard Week 2022: Michael Eavis named Hirsute Personality of the Year
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has named Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis as Hirsute Personality of the Year. The campaigners say that while Eavis’s beard is not iconic in itself it represents a positive view of what the hirsute can bring to society
National Beard Week, organised by the Beard Liberation Front runs from June 27th to July 2nd
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 2021 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
