Joe Marler faces Zohran Mamdani on Beard of the Year 2025 Longlist
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has unveiled the longlist for the Beard of the Year 2025.
The 12 names will be reduced to 8 through on-line polling. Final voting rounds will take place in December 2025 with the Beard of the Year announced on 28th December
The campaigners underline that the longlist is not about beard styles or beard lengths but rather the positive impact the beard wearer has had in the public eye during the year.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, as ever we expect Beard of the Year 2025 to end up being a close shave.
