30 Pics From 2022 Beard & Mustache Championship That Showcases Next-Level Facial Hair
Welcome to the wonderland of facial hair of all shapes, styles, and sizes, from giant beards to Salvador Dali-worthy mustaches.
We’re talking about The National Beard and Moustache Championships organized by Beard Team USA® which took place in Casper on November 12 this month. This whimsical event celebrates facial hair, and joins beard aficionados together into one big bushy community who just loves having fun with a dash of competition!
Just like in previous years, Greg Anderson, a Las Vegas-based photographer, set out on a mission to capture the numerous men in their one-of-a-kind beards on camera. Below we selected some of the most interesting beards Anderson eternalized during the championships, so scroll down and upvote your favorite ones!
Also, be sure to check out more photos from previous years’ National Beard and Moustache Championships here and here.

Silly, but serious question- what does one do with a mustache like this when it’s not styled? Like when sleeping/having a lazy day? Like- I dunno…

“Cool” was literally the first word that came to mind. Followed by, “that guy is ‘cool’ personified. He’d be an awesome eccentric in real life, or some sort of steampunk villain in a movie, or a fun dark/antihero/chaotic good character in a story.”

Yes! Someone needs to make a movie based on this guy.

This year, Beard Team USA worked with both the Ford Wyoming Center and Visit Casper for the 2022 National Beard And Mustache Championship. It was held in conjunction with the 2022 Booze and Bacon Festival.
Bryan Nelson, president of Beard Team USA, told the press that “This event is such a great way to showcase beards and moustaches of all shapes and sizes.” According to him, “there’s a sense of pride in honoring all the various people that are presented in this competition that showcases raw, unfiltered beard and moustache artistry.”

Nice on the picture, but I wonder how they look when waking up in the morning...
In previous years, the National Beard And Mustache Championship was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Nashville, Tennessee and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This year, Wyoming was picked as the location.“We like smaller cities so we can make more of an impact visually, and also, we have a charitable aspect to our event,” Nelson explained.
Since the National Beard And Mustache Championship always donates a percentage of ticket sales to local charities, Nelson believes that being hosted in smaller locations makes it possible to make a bigger impact in helping the community.
The event brings a lot of people together to not just celebrate their facial hair but give back to the community, which is the whole idea of it. No politics matter, no partisan divide,” said Nelson.

I'm somehow more interested in his right hand tattoo. I've been trying to run it through Google Translate but can't get the second letter right (looks a bit like a "6").

This is me. What tattoo are you looking at on my hand? I don't have any 6's on me 🤷♂️

This is pretty fabulous in it’s own way. I’m partial to the crazy stylized facial hair for the entertainment value, but this is a well executed route too. Wouldn’t seem out of place on the streets, but also would seem totally normal on a “Lord of the Rings” character that wields an axe.

Too busy, and although I respect the tremendous amount of work, the lack of symmetry is driving my OCD crazy.

He fits my mental image of a Texas ranch owner (who possibly also works in the oil/fracking) and businessman. But then I see his eyes, which look so young, and my brain fritzes.

I'm not a big fan of moustaches and beards, but I have to say that this guy makes it work.

A classic rock song from the early 1970s: Waiting for the break of day/ Searching for something to say. Flashing lights against the sky/ Giving up, I close my eyes/ Sitting cross-legged on the floor/ 25 or 6 to 4/ Staring blindly into space/ Getting up to splash my face/ Wanting just to stay awake/ Wondering how much I can take/ Should I try to do some more 25 or 6 to 4 Feeling like I ought to sleep Spinning room is sinking deep Searching for something to say Waiting for the break of day 25 or 6 to 4 25 or 6 to 4 Alright

Was this for Movember? Wow. Nicely done. Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide. It is a portmanteau of the Australian-English diminutive word for moustache, "mo", and "November".

I'm all for beards on men but ... Having long hair myself, i don't know why you would voluntarily grow any of your body hair long. It's an absolute pain to maintain.

Please don’t down vote but half these guys look like patrons of an exclusive craft brewery I’ve never heard of while the other half like they’re planning to storm the capital. (Just a joke!)
