The championship was first staged back in 1990 in Germany. Here is Amy Redmond's picture of German contestant Elmar Weiser.
According to the show's organiser, the aim of the competition was to "put a smile on people's faces".
The world's biggest and bushiest facial hair growths were proudly on show and hoping to win their category.

Sarah Booker says she is "very proud" of boyfriend Paul Lewis. "He's the only person I know with amazing facial hair."
Steve Andrews: "I may not be a contestant but I think I would have stood a good chance. I first dyed my beard when I was a performer at the Green Man festival in Wales".
