ESTEVAN — During the month of November, men across Canada and around the world will grow a moustache, and receive support from people they know, affectionately called “Mo Bros” and “Mo Sistas.”

Funds raised during Movember are directed towards the fight against prostate and testicular cancer, and to create awareness of men’s mental health and suicide prevention issues.

This year for November, or Movember, as it is known, everyone is invited to take part in the Estevan Mercury’s Movember Selfie Contest, regardless of whether you can grow a moustache.

People are encouraged to take a selfie with their moustache, even if it’s wool, paper or a filter.

It will run all November, with posts encouraging people of all ages to enter to win.

There are three categories:

•The Real McCoy is for those who can grow a moustache the traditional way. Let us know a bit about your moustache, if you started with a clean slate for the month, if your whiskers are original and you’ve never shaved, or you’ve just been growing it out for a longer period of time.

•Fake It is for those who can’t or don’t want to grow a moustache but want to put their best face forward to raise awareness. Did you craft it out of wool or puffballs? Did you draw it on with a marker or drink a glass of milk? Or did you experiment with your favourite app filter? Show what you have come up with.

•Baby Cookie Duster allows kids to be involved. Help them draw, cut, colour and glue the most creative moustache they can think of.

To enter to win, send your selfie sporting your new Mo to [email protected] or our Facebook page before Nov. 17. Starting Nov. 18, the public can vote via Facebook likes. There will be a prize for each category, and the winners will be decided by likes on the Mercury Facebook page.

Sponsors will have their logo and will be mentioned on all Facebook posts throughout the contest.
