Hair today: Scenes from the Coney Island Beard and Moustache Competition
The competition was fierce Saturday as unshorn Brooklynites gathered on the Coney Island Boardwalk for the 12th Annual Coney Island Beard and Moustache Competition.
Participants paid $25 to enter the fuzzy-faced faceoff, held at circus performance venue Sideshows by the Seashore, to determine who would take home this year’s Beard and Moustache Fez and other prizes.
Categories included “The Brass Ring” (Best in Show), “Coney Island Curl” (Best-Styled Moustache), “Man or Beast” (Best Natural Beard) and “Carny Trash” (Worst in Show).
