My fellow UOSA players, the time has come to show off your face! Bob's First Annual Battle of the Beards is upon us!

Winter is the time for beards. Bushy, manly beards. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is insulating his face this year, and now you can win a prize for being lazy!

Judges will rate your beards using the following criteria:

1) Length
2) Body
3) Style
4) Cleanliness
5) bribery

Judge list: BlackFoot
Panthor the magnificent
Stuck the stucknificent
Platypus the platyificent
and lets say... ian

I know what you're thinking: "Wise is going to win this, what's the point?" Well, fear not my bearded brethren! Judges will be looking at points three and four as well, not merely points one and two. You cannot win this contest by simply looking homeless or by having a neckbeard.

On to the prizes!

First place will win a large brick deed.
Second place will win two small house deeds.
Third place will win one small house deed.

So let's see those soup catchers UOSA. This contest will end on the 17th of Jan at server up!

Staff may participate!

A note on criteria 5: All bribes must be made publicly in this thread and not include items or gold. They must be in game only bribes.

Your beard.

I have selected very skeptical judges. I'm comfortable that they will be able to weed out the fakes. ;)

I have a feeling Kabal's entry will not cut the mustard, so to speak.

I have taken a picture of my own soup catcher in order to provide an example of an acceptable entry:

Entries that have obviously been altered (Kabal) are not acceptable.

I thought you said just looking homeless didn't account for anything?

I can't participate! I would fully expect the panel of expert beard judges to give me a low score for my lack of trimming.
