First ‘Beard-Off’ vote for Beard of the Year 2020 features Michael Sheen & Lenny Henry
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers has said the first ‘Beard-Off’ vote for the Beard of the Year 2020 is open.
The final list consists of eight names after two ‘trim-off’ votes shaved the longlist of twelve names
There are two ‘Beard-Off’ votes for Beard of the Year 2020 which 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!

So it’s time for Beard of the Year 2020. This year, perhaps owing to Brexit, the voting system is even more complicated and time-consuming than usual consisting of two preliminary @Beard Off” rounds. I am in the first, up against David Olusoga, Michael Sheen and Lenny Henry. I’ve made a strong start in the polls and am currently in last place. I should make it clear that even if I am quickly eliminated from the Beard-Off (as I expect to be) my Beard is definitely staying On.
