This past weekend, the 2014 Just for Men World Beard and Moustache Championships® took place inside the spectacular, 3,000-seat Keller Auditorium in downtown Portland, Oregon. Approximately 300 contestants competed in 18 different categories with the Grand Prize winner receiving an all-expenses paid trip to the 2015 world championships in Leogang, Austria.

After a fierce day of competition the judges declared Madison Rowley the champion. On hand to capture the festivities was photographer Greg Anderson. Below is a collection of the Sifter’s personal favourites but you can see the entire 202-picture album on Greg’s Facebook page.
