Hi I am mark Wilson also known as Doc. In the beard world my beard is called #BIGRED and it will be two years old in February. I am #GraveBeforeShave and I’m also the other half of The Bearded Establishment a beard page on Facebook. If I win the $1000 it will go towards getting me to the beard world championships next year to represent new Zealand.

Steven Beard says he has more than just a tinge of ginge in the pursuit of beardliness.

Corrie Roberts says a little bit of laziness, a little bit of defiance went into making his beard.

To celebrate all things ginger, the company is breaking down the walls of gingerism and is inviting people to enter their great fiery ginger beard for a public vote. The total prize pool includes $1,000 cash and a beard grooming kit to keep the title holder in top form.
