STERLING, Ill. (Nov. 18, 2020) – With the presidential election over, it’s now time for the next big showdown. Bearded men from across the nation threw their hat in the ring for the first-ever ‘Most Talented Beard in America’ contest. Video entries included talents ranging from fire eating to Frisbee throwing, and while men’s grooming leader Wahl chose the top 10 candidates, the popular vote will decide the winners. The first place victor takes home a cool $20,000 and becomes the newly elected ‘Wahl Man of the Year.’
“We created this contest to spread positivity and celebrate all of the bearded guys out there — many of whom are newly whiskered since quarantine earlier this year,” said Steven Yde, division vice president for Wahl. “We were blown away by the talent, and it was incredibly hard narrowing down the finalists. So, we’re calling on the American people to help us name the winners.”
