DEF CON Beard and Mustache Contest

DEF CON 32 Beard and Moustache Contest



Held every year since DEF CON 19 in 2011 (R.I.P. Riviera), (Except during that COVID thing - but we are not going to talk about that COVID thing), the DEF CON Beard and Moustache Contest highlights the intersection of facial hair and hacker culture.


 

LOCATION AND TIME: 

NORTH LOBBY STAGE - Saturday Aug 10, 2024 11AM - 1PM (look for our flag)

For 2024 we are back to 4 categories for the competition - [You may only enter one category]  

This is an in-person contest - you must be present to participate.

Full beard: Self-explanatory, for the truly bearded.

Partial Beard: For those sporting Van Dykes, Goatees, Mutton Chops, and other partial beard styles.

Moustache only: Judging on the mustache only, even if bearded.  Bring your Handlebars, Fu Manchus, or whatever adorns your upper lip.

Freestyle: Anything goes, including fake and creatively adorned beards.  Creative women often do well in the Freestyle category.
