Beard of Winter Trim Off Round Two: Gabriel Boric faces Virat Kohli
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has announced the shortlist for the Beard of Winter 2021 poll.
The list contains a diverse range of contenders for the annual seasonal accolade. Leading the list is the hirsute President Elect of Chile Gabriel Boric
It is the first of four seasonal awards that lead to the Beard of the Year Award in December 2022.
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.
The first Trim Off round saw Philip Ardagh and Benedict Cumberbatch shave opponents to reach the Beard Off final. The Second Trim Off round voting is now open
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, it is as ever a wide ranging, eclectic, list but one very much focused on the winter season. We have been keen to make sure we don’t miss beards that have been making a significant positive impact in the public eye in the last few weeks.
The poll opens on 19th January and closes on 30th January 2022
There are two ‘Trim-Off’ rounds from 19-21 January and then from 22-24 January. Each will feature four contenders. The top two from each round will feature in a final ‘Beard-Off’ vote from 26-30th January
