Questing for the perfect Mustache

To further educate the paddling community of the intricate inner workings of a Mustache Contest we have decided to disclose some info on how this finely tuned machine runs.

(you can't deny a man his perfectly good mustache)

Every 2 weeks competitors are required to provide at least 2 photos.
One of these photos needs to be a good close-up shot of your face so we can get a good look at your upper-lip.

The other photo will be from one of 3 possible bi-weekly "Quests", the topic of which will be provided to you at the beginning of each bi-weekly period.
You may choose 1 quest out of the three options, and no more than one. Each of these quest photos should (obviously) show you AND your mustache prominently.
Part of your score will come from your participation in these quests, obviously, the more creative you can be with them, the better, but you need to stay true to the spirit of each one.
Part of the nature of the contest is personal embarrassment, so the more willing you are to look like a fool, the better you will probably fare during the contest.

Over the span of the contest, you may also complete 3 (and no more than 3) Epic Quests from the Epic Quest list provided. You can do these at any time during the span of the contest, in addition to your manditory bi-weekly Quest. The Epic Quests are not required, but will give you bonus points when it comes time for our final judging.

Bi-Weekly Quests:
(Choose ONE per 2 week period)
Weeks 1-2:
A. You in front of a barber shop or hair stylist
B. At a hospital, Doctors Office, Dentists office, or other waiting room.
C. At a concert

(the latter weekly quests will be released as we move along)

Epic Quest list: (you may complete THREE of these over the course of the ENTIRE contest)
1. You (and 'stache) posing with someone famous
2. You underwater
3. You and your 'stache on your driver's lisence, student ID, or other identification card.
4. Indiana Jones and the Temple of 'Stache
5. Appear on TV either locally or nationally
6. Speaking in front of a large group of people
7. Doing a trick on a Skateboard or BMX
8. Wearing a HeeHaw Jones t-shirt
9. At Best Buy or Circuit City with one of the employees
10. Posing with one of the cast members of Night of the Living Donkey

Here's when competitors will be posting their photos:
June 1-7, cleanly shaven
June 8-21, mustache 1
June 22-July 6, mustache 2
July 7-19, mustache 3
July 20-31, mustache final

(Example of bad lip hair. Bad lip hair is sometimes good lip hair.)

Grow lip hair, win an IR Drysuit. It's almost that simple.

There is a season just beyond the horizon where the talents of kayakers and lip hair farmers join forces to become one big idiotic mess all over the internet. This season is known as the Curt Davis Invitational Mustache Growing Contest of Paddlesports. This year IR has title sponsored the event to bring you The Mustache King 2008. As title sponsor IR will be providing their top-of-the-line DoubleD drysuit to 1st place as the grand prize. Yip, you read correctly. All you gotta do is grow a stache and you will be styling it up dry as a bone in a brand new drysuit. Check out the video for a little motivation.
