The Contest:
Start whenever you want. Shave as much as you want. But the point is to grow a respectable amount of facial hair in whatever style tickles your fancy. (Disclaimer: You will get a mighty tickling for the first few weeks). Moustaches, goatees, mutton chops, even the dreaded neckbeard are all welcome. But I encourage a full beard for the spirit of true beardacity.

Who's qualified:
Anyone who can grow a beard. That potentially includes ladies. You can sign onto the contest anytime and drop out anytime. It essentially begins now, and it will end on the first day of spring in 2011. I will update with the actual date when it draws near and when I care.

What's at stake:
At the end of the event there will be a poll or series of polls to determine whose beard is best. The winner will receive accolades from all forum members (maybe) and will be crowned by me as the Ruler, Champion, High Priest and Magus, Emperor and Ayatollah of Beards (definitely). If the winner is inclined to give me his (or her!) address, he or she will receive by mail a box of baked goods, possibly baked by myself, possibly store bought depending on how much I care at the time. If you live way too far from me I will contact a bakery in your home town to deliver you some stuff on me. If you really want to be a winner grow a good beard then move to NYC and I can order for you from the "Butch Bakery" (google it)

Why grow a beard?
I'm glad you asked.
-They make you look more manly
-They make you look distinguished and mature (depending on the style)
-They are natural. Your skin will probably feel more healthy after having a beard for a while (no razor irritation or alcohol/chemical exposure)
-They keep your face warmer during the winter

Beard tips:
-There is no way to accelerate beard growth. You are a slave to genetics. DON'T SHAVE is the only way to grow a beard.
-If you're planning on having a neckline, grow for about 4-6 weeks first, to get a feel of how the grain lays and how you'll want to shape it. BE SUPER CAREFUL when shaping your neckline, if you're not slow and meticulous you could fuck it up.
-For the first few weeks/months the coarseness is going to bother you. Your skin will not be used to having a beard. After a while, it will feel natural and won't bother you, but in the meantime, wash with shampoo and conditioner, it helps a LOT. Leave the conditioner in for several minutes too.
-When it gets long enough, comb, braid, dye, sculpt, shape... because why the hell not?

Well the spirit of beard growing is to make the most out of your body's potential, not pussy out because what you want is too hard to get and takes too long. As a bodybuilder you should understand this creed...

so in a way you have already failed the contest. great job. It's not too late to re-enter though...

[Sir Kyle Aziz]

I would, but my beard has it's own growth limit's. It only grows about 3 inches and then just stops. So really no point for me but the rest of you I wish good luck.

Guy is easily naturaly, not very big just lean as fuck. He is Mountain Man

[Joby]

Would join, but just like Kyle's beard, mine seems to stop growing after a certain length. Which is fine, the ladies like having some scruff but not too much.

Good luck to all those who participate !

[Patchy]

Would enter, but I have to be clean shaven or else my BA won't seal to my face and then I die.

Will make rude comments about beards though, and tell everyone they should run a blade across their face throughout the entire contest.

You guys are pathetic, just grow it out as much as you can! Stop being ashamed of yourselves and be men!

I would but it's kind of not Winter anymore and wont be for another year. And even then if I started now and had until it was Winter; i'd still have fuck all to show for it.

[Patchy]

Actually, I'm in.

Dunno if he is natural. Steroids increase blood pressure and bring veins to the surface of one's body, as long as thier body fat is low, depending what you use. Not saying im certain he takes roids, andI myself wouldn't touch the shit, but just because he isn't big doesn't mean he don't juice.

uh so does that mean your in?

He doesn't juice, he has been training for 25 years, if he juiced he'd be Mr Olympia.

[Bl!ndf!re]

read above, can't grow even respectable looking beard

[Jimmy Rabbitte]

More than half the time guys shun their own beard growing abilities is because they don't give themselves enough time for it to actually grow out.

Its time to man up y'all

[TracyTheFreak]

I will grow out my leg hairs.

[Ineffable]

I would join but my facial hair doesn't grow very fast and winter has already passed.
