Moustaches Make A Difference Advertisement

Growing competitions
The longest recorded moustache belongs to Bajansinh Juwansinh Gurjar of Ahmedabad, India. It had not been cut for 22 years and was 12 feet, 6 inches long in 2004.
In North America and the UK, occasionally, groups of men (co-workers, friends or students) may participate in moustache growing competitions. The ultimate goal is to grow the most full and well-groomed moustache in the least amount of time, or over a fixed period. Some competitions are run as charity fund-raising events, with participants being sponsored for their moustache-growing and the money raised being donated to a selected cause. The rules for such competitions vary but often include "forfeits" (e.g. donation-matching) for competitors who shave off their moustaches before the end of the competition.
