The Starting Line: A clean shave on November 1 is encouraged to showcase your month‑long transformation, but it isn't required. Every participant must submit a "Day 1" photo when they join.
Hands Off the Razor: No shaving for the entire month of November. Put away the razor and let the facial hair grow.
Grooming Is Allowed: Trimming, shaping, and general grooming of your beard or mustache are fine—just no clean shaves.
Weekly Photo Check-ins: Upload one progress photo each week labeled "Week 1," "Week 2," etc. These appear publicly on your profile and in the poll.
The Finish Line: The competition concludes on November 30. A final "after" photo is required for prize eligibility.
Signup Fee: A $25 signup fee is required to participate. It unlocks your profile for voting and counts toward the first $25 of your $100 minimum.
Fundraising Minimum: To be eligible for awards, you must raise at least $100 total.
Voting = Donations: $5 = 1 vote. Supporters can vote from the poll or your profile. Votes add to your total raised and help decide weekly shout‑outs and the Final "Fan Favorite" winner.
Clean Shave Bounty (Optional): Participants who opt in can accept bounty donations to shave early and post a picture of themselves clean shaven (or select a donor to decide your upload style mid-shave - goatee, beard, mustache, etc). Bounty donations show on your profile and count toward your total raised.
