Contest Rules

It's simple really....
  1. Grow a beard. If you already have a beard, keep on growing. If you're clean shaven, start growing. The contest will last from June 1-December 1. If you need to maintain professionalism for work, rest assured that trimming is allowed. If you are not worried about professionalism, then rock the neck beard like there's no tomorrow.
  2. Collect pledges. Each contestant is responsible to find at least 10 people to sponsor their monthly beard growth. Ex: "I will give you $10 for every month that you don't shave your beard."
  3. Send us monthly updates. At the first of every month, send us an updated picture of your beard growth and pledge amounts. We will update the blog so that people can watch the progress.
  4. Advertize. Get your family and friends involved through facebook, twitter and this blog.
  5. Collect funds. All contestants are responsible for collecting their monthly pledges. Pledges are due no later on December 1st. Sponsors can turn in cash, check, or donate on this site via the Subscription button. Additionally,  if you have family or friends who want to make a one time donation, they can do that as well. Both monthly subscriptions and one time donations can be made on the Support a Beard page on this site.
  6. Have fun! We will have contests, prizes and incentives along the way to ensure that you have fun. Stay tuned for more details on a Beard Event at the end of the contest!
