The USA is not only the land of opportunity but also of Gaga competitions. For example, the international hot dog eating contest has been around for more than 100 years.

And so, it is not surprising that the mullet champion is also being sought between New York and Los Angeles. The abbreviation stands for "short in the front, long in the back" and means a hairstyle that - to put it mildly - perhaps no longer fully corresponds to the prevailing ideal of beauty.

In the States, mullets (hairstyle) are referred to as mullets, and the associated competition is called the "USA Mullet Championships."

But America wouldn't be America if everything wasn't a bit bigger and stranger in this respect. There are preliminary decisions in various federal states, often combined with other events, such as chicken wings eating contest. Men compete for the title in the Men's Open, and women compete in the Femullets.

And there is a "Kid's Division." Kevin Begole launched this in 2021. He said Today: "It really exploded! We had to limit the number of entries to 500 children because we were getting hundreds of entries daily." He couldn't imagine running a competition with thousands of children.

The conditions for participation are straightforward: send in photos and pay a participation fee of ten US dollars. Half of this is donated to a good cause. The images are then uploaded to the web.

The Vokuhila organization recently published 25 photos of this year's children's finalists on Facebook. However, the USA Mullet Championships website will take the final vote. The exact date will be announced later.

Inventor Begole said the competition has become so popular that entire cities vote for their candidates. "Some of them come from tiny villages, it's great for them to take part because they give them that famous 15 minutes of fame." critical sense - meant that in the future, everyone will be world-famous for a short time.

Of mullet wearers -- some adults include people who've been wearing their mullet for 30 or 40 years -- Begole said, "They're more carefree. They don't take things that seriously. You know, people obviously laugh a little at their hair. But they love it." After all, the competition is all about having fun.
