The International World Beard and Moustache Championships are underway in the little village of Leogang in Austria. More than 350 contestants from 20 countries are there to vy for an international placing.

For over a year, and more in some cases, the contestants have groomed and pruned their spectacular beards and moustaches as though they were works of art.
