The Mustache Games are a free, worldwide online competition that brings people together to celebrate great mustaches while supporting men's health.

Our mission is simple: Turn the fun and personality of the mustache community into something that can make a difference. We created the Games to raise awareness and support for Movember and the men's health causes they champion.

You enter. We donate. For every eligible 'stache entered, MaxStache will donate $1 to Movember, up to $3,000.

Our goal: 3,000 'staches from around the world, a $3,000 contribution from MaxStache, and a community that comes together to help make an even bigger impact.

No purchase, donation, or social media follow is required to participate.

Entering is simple. Submit a video showing us your 'stache through this website.

Your video: It can be as simple or creative as you want. No fancy production or elaborate performance required. Just make sure you and your mustache are clearly visible.

Free to enter • Worldwide • 18+ One entry per person: Your mustache must be real and naturally grown, and you must submit your own entry.

Entry deadline: December 31, 2026.

When your 'stache is ready, show us what you've got.

We're looking for great mustaches with personality. 

The 'Stache: This is the main event. We'll consider the overall look, style, character, and awesomeness of your mustache.

Presentation: Show us what makes your 'stache yours. Personality and creativity can help an entry stand out, but you don't need an elaborate video or performance.

At the end of the day, it's about the mustache. How you show us yours is up to you.
