The festival’s moustache competition saw sixty moustached or bearded men compete in several categories, such as moustache and beard, natural and Hungarian-style moustache.

The organisers aim is to restore the popularity of the moustache in Hungary “because Hungarians have been a moustache-wearing people for centuries. Hungarians were also thought of as a moustached people in international public opinion, organiser László Gulyás explained.

Seeing pictures taken of the contestants, the jury surely had a hard task choosing the “Moustache King” of this year’s festival!
