We’re rewarding guys who are making the world a ‘bearder’ place to live. If you’ve got a beard, and if you’re contributing to a cause, you could win $5,000 for yourself and $20,000 for your charity.

Men with beards have until July 6, 2025, to submit a video of themselves either explaining or demonstrating how they support a charity. What kind of charity? As long as it’s a 501(c)(3) organization with a goal to impact the world positively, all charities will be considered. So, whether you’re an animal advocate or helping humans, you have the chance to put your good grooming toward goodwill.

Official Rules

Following the submission deadline, 5 finalists will each win $500 for themselves, $500 for their charity and a Wahl Trimmer. Things get exciting in August when public votes help determine which finalist wins the Grand Prize of $5,000 for himself, $20,000 for his charity and a visit from Wahl’s Mobile Barbershop to do a grooming event where barbers will offer the public FREE beard trims.

To bring attention to the Wahl Benevolent Beards Contest, our mobile barbershop is traveling the country and visiting last year’s winner and finalists in their hometowns. We’re celebrating them by hosting beard grooming events that will further support their charitable efforts. For every FREE beard trim, we donate $100 to support their respective charities.
