Beard of Spring 2024 poll opens with competition bristling
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that voting for the coveted Beard of Spring Award will take place in the run-up to Easter weekend.
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 2024 is as much on those whose beards have appeared in a positive public light during the quarter.
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.
