The Bearded Man Challenge

The Bearded Man Challenge is almost exactly what it sounds like: it's a beard-growing contest. On Monday, June 11, I will shave off my beard and mustache, photograph my face, and post it here. I will then refrain from shaving all summer, posting photographic updates about every week or so, as I find time. Your challenge is to do the same, beginning with a full clean shave on Monday, and send me the pictures, at smithw12321@gmail.com, and don't shave at all. At the end of the summer, I will judge (with the help of those readers who care to vote) who has the most impressive beard, and will award them...something silly, that I have yet to decide upon. And massive bragging rights.
Of course, girls are welcome to participate as well, although they may have less exciting effects...however, I have had suggestions that they do this with other parts of the body, such as the legs or head. I'm sure this could be quite as entertaining as the beards.
Please join me! Send in your starting pictures by Monday at 10 pm MY time, which is 4 pm in Hanover and the rest of the east coast. Again (like an advertisement...which, I suppose, in a sense, this is), send them to me at smithw12321@gmail.com. Also accepted are questions, comments, love notes, and death threats.
As always, PLaATJ,
