At 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 30, Aslan will be hosting the Best Beard in Bellingham competition. Anyone interested in entering can pre-register on their website or check in with Aslan staff during the event. Winners will be announced at 9:30 p.m. the day of the competition.

Beards will be judged using three criteria: Beard Length, Beard Creativity and Beard Power. Judges will combine the aggregate total of a 1-10 score in each category. In addition to the overall competition, we’ll be crowning winners in the following subcategories:
- Best Mustache
- Free Style
- Cleanest Beard
- Longest Beard
- People’s Choice
All the categories, aside from People’s Choice, will be judged by Aslan’s resident beard experts: Austin Umbinetti-Hutton, brewer and beard-master; Brendan Garvey, sous chef and beard model; and Celina Carros, events coordinator and beard connoisseur.
All winners will receive a prize, sponsored by Sea Witch Botanicals and V’s Barbershop. Contestants must be present at the time of announcement to win.
