Don't think for a minute this competition is limited to just men. There's a Children's division, and even a Femullet division.

Kudos to our Colorado finalist Reis Caldwell. He was up against some stiff competition. Check out the gallery and you'll see he was up against reps from mullet-savvy states like Kentucky and Alabama. Oddly, states such as Wisconsin and Michigan had strong showings in this event.
