Bill Bailey, David Olusoga & Michael Rosen head Beard of the Year 2020 shortlist
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers has announced the final shortlist for the Beard of the Year 2020.
The list consists of eight names after two ‘trim-off’ votes shaved the longlist of twelve names
There will now be two ‘Beard-Off’ votes for Beard of the Year 2020 which will open on 14th December and close on 22nd December. The winners of each vote will face each other for a final Beard of the Year vote on 23rd and 24th December.
Beard of the Year will be announced on 28th December.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we’ve made some changes to the way the Beard of the Year vote runs for 2020. We’ve moved the vote to twitter where polls often have great engagement and instead of two polls which ran for many weeks we’re running a series of shorter more focused polls. May the best beards win!

It’s almost time for the voting to start for Beard of the Year 2020. By virtue of being voted Beard of Ireland way back in March I qualified for the shortlist of eight. This year’s field is very strong, but I reckon I’ll be a good contender for eight place.
Voting this time will be via Twitter, as the following post explains.
