The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that National Beard Week is bristling off to a start on 23rd June with the news that England cricketer Moeen Ali has been voted Hirsute Personality of the Year
The shortlist comprised well known beard wearers, focusing not just on their place in the public eye but the gravitas and impact their beard added to their public image and appearance.
Moeen Ali took 40% of the vote with Idris Elba in second place with 27.5%. Eleven hundred votes were cast in an on-line poll
Unlike the Beard of the Year in December, those on the short-list didn’t need to have a full-time beard. Rather they needed to have been in the public eye while hirsute. Neither is the contest about who has the ‘best’ beard.
The winner of the on-line poll is announced at the beginning of Beard Week 2025 on June 23rd. Other Awards that feature during the week, designed to promote a positive image of beards, are the Beard Friendly Sandwich of the Year, Hirsute Broadcaster of the Year and the most Beard Friendly Employer of the Year.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, we congratulate Moeen Ali on being voted Hirsute Personality of the Year. He plays cricket all over the world and he is a great ambassador for the hirsute
