The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that National Beard Week is bristling off to a start on 22nd June with the news that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been named Hirsute Personality of the Year

The campaigners say that Zohran Mamdani has presented a hugely positive image of the hirsute as New York Mayor.

The Hirsute Personality of the Year is announced at the beginning of Beard Week 2026. 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 Zohran Mamdani on being named Hirsute Personality of the Year. He sends a clear message. A beard wearer in elected office stands for hope and Zohran Mamdani has underlined that important message.
