Around 100 competitors were in Germany on Saturday, October 23, for the sporting beards and moustaches contest to find out who had the best whiskers.
The competition saw people travel from The Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Israel to the Pullman City Western Theme Park in Eging am See, Germany, to compete.
Entrants were judged mainly on the density and length of their hair.
