The IZEA Team is getting wild-and-crazy in the name of charity for the next two weeks. Wanna know more, and how you can get involved? Here’s the skinny:

The Contest

  • Contest starts today, February 27th at IZEA Loco and ends at 3:00pm on Thursday, March 12th, 2009
  • Those IZEA team members wanting to enter will contribute $10 and choose a charity to represent
  • We will take pictures at 3:00pm on March 12th
  • The IZEA Team will vote on the top three (3) mustaches and those will be posted here
  • Voting will open to the blogging Community on March 13th, via the IZEA blog, to choose the winner from the top 3 chosen by the IZEA employees
  • The top winner, based on votes, will have ALL of the proceeds donated to the charity they designated at the beginning of the competition

The Voting

  • In order to vote you must “pay” for a vote; the “payment” will go to the winning charity (details on donating will be provided later)
  • The lowest amount you can “pay” is $1.00

Other Stuff:


  • If a participant (mustache grower) doesn’t want to pay the entry fee of $10 they can find a sponsor to pay the entry fee for them
  • The participant does NOT have to be clean shaven to start the contest
  • Votes are based on creativity of the mustache – just because someone has the fullest mustache doesn’t necessarily mean they will win
  • The winner is eligible for a very SWEET prize in addition to helping the charity of their choice

So what can you look forward to seeing? Perhaps one of these:
