In the Dark

Nominations for the Inaugural Beard of the Year Poll at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Sussex closed on Friday 29th November. We now move to the final phase of the competition, with a public vote. I’m afraid I had to rule out some of the nominees because no photographic evidence was supplied. I also have a sneaking suspicion that some of those who made the short list may not be entirely authentic. Please make your own mind up when casting your vote.

Before introducing the contestants, I’d like to say a big public thank you to our caterers, Chartwells, for producing this lovely cake for a  little “Movember” event we had in the School on Friday afternoon:

The purpose of “Movember” is to raise awareness about testicular and prostate cancer, and mental health issues. We’ve gone a bit further and gone for a fully bearded version of the event, but in any case I hope that this bit of fun will at least remind blokes (who are notoriously bad at looking after themselves) to check our their bits every now and again. In any case always remember that facial hair is not just for Movember, but for life…

Anyway, to the contenders (in no particular order)

Beard A: William Watson

Beard B: Tomas Navickas
