Members of the Swabian Beard and Moustache Club pose for a portrait in Albstadt, Germany. The purpose of the 132-member club is largely social, but annual dues of 20 euros (about U.S. $26) support members who compete in international beard and mustache contests. Club members wear souvenir pins from various competitions on their signature red and black vests.
