Elmar Weisser
Brigachtal, Germany
Swabian Beard Club
Elmar stole the show at the WBMC 2005 when his tribute to the host city Berlin -- his beard styled to depict the world famous Brandenburg Gate -- earned him the world championship title in the full beard freestyle category.
In 2007 he repeated his championship performance, this time with his beard in the form of London's Tower Bridge.
What will Elmar's beard depict in Alaska? Denali? A polar bear? The Northern Lights? Stay tuned.
