Beard of Spring 2022 Beard Off. Can Michael Rosen retain his 2021 title?
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that voting is open for the final round of the coveted Beard of Spring Award, the Beard Off.
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. In the second Trim Off Round beer writer Adrian Tierney Jones and current Joint Beard of Spring Michael Rosen bearded the opposition
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 midnight on Maundy Thursday, with the winner announced on Easter Saturday
