Throw away your razors, guys, and embrace your inner mountain man: it's time to start cultivating your entry in the first ever North American Beard and Moustache championship. The prestigious follicle competition will take place in Bremerton, Wash. on July 5th. The competition, put on by Bremerton's Whisker Club, is expected to bring moustaches, as well as the faces to which they are attached, from as far away as Europe.
The president of the Bremerton Whisker Club is himself a seven-time competitor in the moustache and beard world championships. He is hoping that the Bremerton competition will bring as many as 150 magnificent moustache entries. The winners of the North American Championship will have a chance to compete with the best beards and 'staches in the world at the 2009 World Championship in Anchorage, Alaska.
We have the utmost faith that a local beard or moustache can take this competition by storm. Seattle is home to tens of thousands of ironic moustaches, musical beards (Fleet Foxes, anyone?), the classic trucker-stache, heavily bearded bears, and Apollo Ohno's soul patch. Not only do we believe that a Seattle local can take the competition, we have the sneaking suspicion one of our readers can bring home the trophy. In honor of the competition, we'd like to conduct our own Seattlest Facial Hair championship. Post a link to your most impressive moustache and beard photos in the comments and Seattlest will declare a winner on Monday, complete with your magnificent moustached photo. We can't wait to see what you can grow!

To begin the Seattlest Moustache-Off, I give you my award winning fake moustache photo from a "Moustache Bash" party last year.
Or that html code doesn't work here.... so here's the link to the photo
and here is my entry from a party at the rose a year or two ago.
The Internationals are being held a year from now in Anchorage, so if your hair isn't in fighting trim by July you've got many more months to let it grow.
I think I might be winning.
