Nationals re-cap 11/11/2023

Nationals re-cap Welcome to a special Wednesday night episode of Talking Beards, where we dive into all things facial hair. Tonight, we'll be discussing the highly anticipated 2023 National Beard & Moustache Championships. As with any major event, there are pros and cons to consider. On one hand, the championships provide a platform for enthusiasts to showcase their impressive facial hair styles and compete against other like-minded individuals from across the country. It's an opportunity to connect with fellow beard lovers and celebrate all that is unique about our hairy features. However, on the other hand, these types of events can also be incredibly competitive and stressful for participants. The pressure to perform at such a high level can be overwhelming, leading some competitors to resort to less-than-ethical tactics in order to gain an edge over their opponents. But let's not forget about the upcoming events! There are so many exciting opportunities on the horizon for those passionate about facial hair. From local competitions to international gatherings, there is no shortage of ways to get involved in this vibrant community. Before we wrap up tonight's episode, we want to take a moment to acknowledge Natali's recent kidney transplant. We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to having her back on the show soon. Thanks for tuning in, folks! Stay tuned for more Talking Beards coming your way soon. 2023 National Beard & Moustache Championships FOR BEARD COMPETITION INFORMATION Talking Beards website Honest Amish- use promo code "talkingbeards" to save 15% Grooming Emporium SUBSCRIBE to the Talking Beards podcast by going to- Talking Beards Store …/talking-beards-3 Aaron D Johnston- Facebook Aaron D.

As mental health advocates we will stand up for those who do not have a voice reminding everyone that there is light, healing and hope throughout this journey. With public support we will establish a mental health care facility to offer a community-based care option that is a safe and supportive environment to remove treatment barriers for people who need access to mental health services. We are committed to providing the necessary resources along with a broad spectrum of services delivered through compassionate, comprehensive individualized care to save lives, save families, and save futures.

How this works is this: If you have a goatee-team up with a chops guy to make the best “full beard”. If you are a whaler-find a great mustache guy to make the best beard. How this is all going to work: 1. You will register for these categories by going to our Eventbrite page: 2. You will select which category you would like to participate in. 3. You will then “purchase” your event ticket by submitting a donation. It can be whatever you feel like making it- $5, $15, $50, whatever you can donate-we all know times are tough right now so we understand if you can’t afford to give a lot. Every thing that we collect for this online competition will be donated directly to Maddie. 4. Download the FHL app on Apple or Android. Create your account with the same email address you used for your Eventbrite purchase. 5. Then you just send your photo to [email protected] OR you can upload them to the FHL app yourself by going to the Talking Beards (the club) event 6. The photo you will submit will have to be a selfie of you and you beard. We want a current selfie of you and your beard, or creation. 7. Once we receive your name, email, and photo we will add your information into our virtual event on the FHL app. Submissions will be stopped at 11:30 pm on May 27th. 8. Voting will go a little different this time. Last time we let everyone vote though the app. This year we are going to have a panel of judges. The plan will be for the judges to meet at noon on the morning of the event and we will go through FHL and they will submit their votes. Then our team will put together the presentation and everyone will be able to watch the results live May 27th at 7:00pm Est on ALL of the Talking Beards locations (YouTube, Facebook, website, twitch, twitter, ETC) 9.

We will go through each person until we find out who was voted “Top 3” . We will then announce who won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and then move onto the next category until we have completed this round. We will be doing this LIVE on our Talking Beards Facebook page as well as streaming it LIVE at 10. Winners will receive A Trophy designed and created by Trophies Unlimited in Aiken SC. They will also receive some great prizes from Honest Amish and the claim to fame as a Talking Beards (the club), The competition Winner. 11. Each player that places in the top 3 will also be given a point total that will display onto their FHL app profile. We understand that times are different right now and all we want to do is have some fun with our people. There are a bunch of other on-line/virtual beard camps that have already been popping up. Each one has a different idea. of how they are going to conduct their on-line competition, but this is how we thought it could be the most fun for everyone involved. We didn't want it to be just about the beard and mustache growers. We want to get more people involved-open up our "nook" to the rest of the world and share what we do. We have always been firm believers of expanding the facial hair community and this was our idea to do so. We want to draw in a whole new community so ours may grow and do more for lots of people. We want people to have fun, experience something new, and grow the facial hair community. Talking Beards (the club)-The Competition Vol. 3 THE TICKET LINK ...
