Move over, Cannes. Maine are going to be taking part in host to its first-ever international moustache film competition, a part of its annual pageant that celebrates the bristly facial hair.
The competition set for March thirty in Portland can feature short films with storylines that involve moustaches or a main character who wears a moustache, said Nick Callanan, head of No Umbrella Media, a video production company organizing the event.
The idea for the moustache film competition, believed to be the primary of its kind, grew out of an annual moustache pageant held domestically to learn arts and cancer analysis organizations, he said.
This year's 2012 Stache Pag can feature contestants carrying all manner of moustaches, from handlebars to horseshoes, Callanan said. There are the walrus and Fu Manchu designs, he said.
"It's with reference to men expressing themselves," he said.
