This year’s World Beard and Moustache Championships took place on 17 and 18 May in Antwerp, and we would like to proudly announce how successful Hungarians performed out there: they returned home with one world champion title and a silver medal.

19 categories, 400 competitors – we suppose that the 7 persons in the jury had a hard time choosing the best moustaches in every category. In the “Hungarian” category, a Hungarian man secured his third world champion title. The primary school teacher was wearing a traditional Hungarian horseman’s costume and a hat decorated by maidenhair fern, when he received his price. In his category, a German man came in second, and an American got the bronze medal.

And last but not least, let us tell you shortly about another Hungarian man, Mátyás Kiss, who came in second in the ‘Natural’ category. Only the multiple winner German, Wolfgang Schneider could surpass the Hungarian wood carver, who was wearing a traditional Matyó folk dress.

Besides Járomi and Kiss, Hungary was represented by Tibor Vona, Ferenc Sólyom and István Bajkai. Tibor Vona was ranked 3rd in the “Natural Full Beard with Styled Moustache” category.
