2015 World Beard and Moustache Championships Leogang, Austria

This year’s World Beard and Moustache Championships are taking place in the small village of Leogang, Austria.

Located in the heart of Salzburg Land, Leogang is the capital of bearded people from all over the world from October 2 to October 4.

In 2005, Leogang was host to the Beard Olympics and in 2010 to the Beard European Championships.

Hirsute contestants from 20 countries have converged on Leogang for the event, with many of the competitors hailing from Germany and Austria.

Beards and moustaches were judged by a jury in 18 different categories, including best goatie, best stubble and best fashion beard.
