When mullets came back into fashion during the early days of the pandemic, Kevin Begole decided to feature the best ones in a nationwide contest.
at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, he decided the best thing to do was feature them in a local competition.that garners hundreds of nominations and features some of the smallest, fiercest mullets in the country. The U.S.A. Mullet Championships expanded to include"a kid's contest, across the whole country, just to keep things going," after seeing the success of the adult version.
"That really blew up," Begole noted."We actually had to cap at 500 kids, because we were getting hundreds of entries a day, and I couldn't imagine going through a contest with thousands of kids.", along with a $10 fee. Half of that fee is donated to a charity. For the adult competition, the charity of choice is an organization that works to help veterans. For the children's, the money is going to a local pediatric hospital.
"We obviously look for the whole 'business in the front, party in the rear,'" said Begole."Within the mullet community, if you can look straight on at somebody and see their hair short in the front and not necessarily tell what's in the back ... And then when they turn their head and you see that long flow of hair, that's a solid mullet.
Begole and his panel also look at"overall length," preferring mullets that reach the shoulders or further, and pay serious attention to entrants who"A lot of the adults have had a mullet for 30, 40 years. They've been rocking that hairstyle forever. They live that mullet hairstyle," Begole said."They're a little more carefree. They don't take things as serious. They know that obviously people laugh at their hair a little bit, but they love it. ...
In addition to the panel voting, another 15 mullets are selected through fan voting, for a total of 25 top mullets. Out of these, a champion is crowned.
