Beard of the Year 2023 Paul McCartney faces Michael Rosen. Voting in Close Shave Rounds open
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said voting in the Close Shave rounds for the Beard of the Year 2023 is now open.
The winner of each of the three rounds will go to a Beard Off Final, together with the highest placed loser.
The long running contest, in recent times determined by on-line polls- looks for the individual who has promoted the most positive image of beards during the year.
To qualify for inclusion a beard must have been worn for the majority of the calendar year but it is not essential that a beard is worn during the vote.
The voting closes just before Christmas with the outcome announced between Christmas and New Year
