And the overall is unpredictable anyway. But I'm not going out on a limb to say that Jack Passion is the favorite for Full Beard Natural and will be an overall contender.
There is a definite home field advantage, so a Norwegian is a good bet, and there will be Germans there in plenty.Not much chance of a repeat for champion David Traver who had the hometown advantage plus the inspiration to do his beard in a local theme (snowshoes).
And the winner is.... Elmar Weisser of Brigachtal, Germany Swabian Beard Club. For a guy to grow his mustache as a national land mark from his country and it resemble it, he has to be a a genius. From the article I read about him he is not only highly artistic but creative and unpredictable.
Who would guess that I guy would shape his mustache in the form of London's Tower BRIDGE. The other contestants will surely have to raise the bar to beat this man . Mad skills brilliant amazing.
Personally, I like the look of Willi Chevalier and Schani Mitterhauser - maybe I'm partial to the curling 'stache. worldbeardchampionships.com/schani.html worldbeardchampionships.com/chevalier.html.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
