The World Beard and Moustache Championships were held in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday, October 25.
Around bearded 300 contestants showed up in hopes of winning a prize in one of 18 categories like best full groomed beard, partial beards (which includes sideburns, van dykes, goatees and soul patches,) and freestyle, where anything goes.
At Saturday's event, Madison Rowley, the winner of the Garibaldi category, which honors the Italian patriot with prominent whiskers, won the grand prize over MJ Johnson by -- you guessed it -- a hair.
Known as competitive bearding, facial hair face offs started in Germany in the 1990s.
