The 2005 World Beard and Moustache Championships (WBMC) will take place in Berlin, Germany, on October 1. Host for this event is the Berlin Beard Club, which is pulling out all of the stops to provide all contestants and spectators with an unforgettable experience and is hoping to set a new participant record.

Meanwhile, the host club’s star member Karl-Heinz Hille is looking to defend the overall world championship title he earned at the last championships, held in Carson City, Nevada in 2003. Hille was also the overall champion in Sweden in 1999.

Team USA, which took nine trophies at the 2003 World Beard and Moustache Championships in Carson City, Nevada, will be traveling to Berlin to compete in the WBMC 2005. The team is planning to stop over at the world’s biggest beer bust, the Oktoberfest in Munich, on the way. Could there be a better way to spend Oktoberfest than being a groupie for the WMBC?

In case you can't make it to Berlin this year - plan to be in London in 2007.
