In an effort to increase awareness for prostate cancer and raise the awareness of men’s health in general, we are celebrating No-Shave November. Not to mention, who doesn’t like to get prizes for growing facial hair!
We will donate a portion of the profits from this campaign to the American Cancer Association.
6 Easy Steps to Participate in the Contest
- Step 1 – Shave Your Face – Between October 27 and November 1, shave your entire face as cleanly as possible. We are going to allow light stubble since this is for fun. Just make sure the rest is as clean as possible. The goal is epic facial hair! Play fair.
- Step 2 – Submit Your Photo –Â After shaving, take a picture of your face and email it to beards@sweetwaternow.com. Photos of your newly shaved face can be submitted starting October 27 until November 1. The sooner you submit your picture the bigger jump you will have on the competition.
- Step 3 – Don’t Shave All November –Â Do not shave for the entire month. (If you need to trim your neck, shave your mustache, or shape your beard somehow, go for it, as long as you have something to show for your efforts in your after pictures.)
No-Shave November Sponsors:

- Step 4 – Submit a Weekly Photo Update –Â At the end of each week in November, send us a facial hair photo update via email (beards@sweetwaternow.com) and we will choose a random weekly winner for awesome prizes! Each week the beards get longer and the prizes get better. Each weekly entry gets you one entry into the drawing for the GRAND PRIZE (4 update photos = 4 entries).
- Step 5 – Attend the Party to Win Prizes –Â On November 30, we will host a No-Shave November Celebration at Johnny Macs where more winners will be chosen and the GRAND PRIZEÂ will be awarded! (You must be present to win the Grand Prize.) It’ll be a party the beards not in attendance will be sorry they missed. Check out the winner’s categories:
- People’s Choice
- Most Growth
- Longest
- The Picasso (Patchy/Abstract)
- Prizes will include items every man and his beard can be proud of
- Step 6 – Shave Day or Just another day Growing Your Beard – On December 1, you can finally shave! … Or not!
