The Beard Awards Ethos.

The Beard Awards was established to acknowledge the renaissance of the gentleman. Well-spoken, charitable and bearded. Just don’t mind a few rough edges. He is a cocktail of the old and new.

The Beard Awards is a celebration of manliness. We work tirelessly in search of the finest mankind has to offer, in both the male visage and the products that shape them.

As an inclusive, international award, the Beard Awards has categories to cater for the diverse tastes of a global audience of men. Haircare, skincare, smellcare (that’s a thing); If it makes a man, we help make it a mainstay.

The best men are not born. They are made.

Each year, we host award competitons covering a variety of men’s grooming products for brands located in the Asia Pacific and North American Regions.
