geek-stache44There was a bit of mustache mania going on this past month as dudes everywhere participated in the annual Movember challenge, raising awareness and money for mens’ health by showcasing their staches.

We saw some wild and wacky whiskers here in Seattle, asking members of the GeekWire community to submit their handlebars, walruses and horseshoes for our annual competition. We got some great entries this year, so much so that we really couldn’t decide the winner, so we picked the eight below as our finalists.

In the spirit of our geeky community, we’re opening up the competition to a public vote. Just vote on your favorite stache in the poll below, submitting your ballot before 2 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 2nd.

The winner will receive two free tickets to the big GeekWire Gala on December 4th at the Museum of History & Industry in Seattle’s South Lake Union Neighborhood. Vote now!
