Kids Fake Creative Category
This is for the children and is a participation category, all kids will be awarded a prize. Be creative and have fun! Come up with a fake beard or mustache and have mom and dad help you build it!!!
Whiskerina Beard
This is for the women. A "Whiskerina" is a female who participates in beard and mustache competitions. They generally "craft" some type of beard out of some medium and accompany it with a matching costume. If you are a female and want to try, be creative!!! Costumes aren't necessary but they may help!!!
