The 2017 World Beard and Moustache Championships took place Saturday, September 1-3 at the Long Center in Austin, Texas. Taylor Welden of the Austin Facial Hairclub and Greg Anderson took photos of the event. As in the past, there were three main categories: mustache, partial beard, and full beard. There were amazing facial hair creations to be seen, but the Overall Best in Show winner was Jason Kiley.
