Beard of Spring 2022 poll open with competition expected to bristle
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that voting is open for the coveted Beard of Spring Award.
Beard of Spring is the second of four seasonal awards that lead to the Beard of the Year in December.
The campaigners say that while the second seasonal award of the year traditionally focuses on new beard growth, the focus in 2022 is as much on those whose beards have appeared in a positive public light during the quarter.
In the first Trim Off Round comedian Alexei Sayle and cricketer Azeem Rafiq shaved opponents.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the Beard of Spring poll sets the beard-benchmark for the period ahead when beards can be flaunted in public as the weather improves.
The vote is open now and will close at midday on Good Friday, with the winner announced on Easter Saturday
Round One April 6-8
