Submission Step One: Read the ’stachley guidelines below.

Submission Step Two: Email your ’stache photos to submit@travelingstache.com

(Optional) Submission Step Three: Follow traveling stache on Twitter! so you don’t miss any ’stache-laden updates.

Guideline, The First: Upon receiving a mustache in the mail you will have a total of TWO WEEKS to take a plethora of pictures with said ’stache before sending it on its merry way. This is not because I am trying to be Mustache Hall Monitor, but more to ensure that everyone gets a chance to play before the year 2012. Two weeks should hopefully be plenty of time to get The Shot, so this guideline will stand fast for both U.S. and international participants.

Guideline, The Second: After two weeks have passed, mail the ’stache back to me, and I’ll mail it to the next person on the list, wherein they too will have two weeks, and the cycle will continue in two week increments until everyone who wants a picture with the ’stache has had one. I will have multiple mustaches in circulation at all times, so rest assured one will arrive in your mailbox sooner than you probably think.

Guideline, The Third: I am beyond thrilled to see what everyone comes up with for their pictures, and while creativity is key and definitely encouraged let’s all make a sanitary pact not to actually put the mustache on anything that would potentially cause another recipient to break out in hives. So that most likely means you won’t actually put the mustache on your dog, or your cat, or your favorite pet Llama. Depth of field tricks will no doubt work wonderfully in those pet-laden situations. I would also shy away from placing the ’stache on that pretty plant in your house that is actually poisonous. Just saying.

The One Rule: If at any point you receive the ’stache and don’t feel so inclined to photograph yourself with it, rather than allowing the Sisterhood Of The Traveling ‘Stache to die a horribly lonely mustache death, please send it back to me, and I’ll forward it on to someone who wants to play. Deal?

OK, then.

Let the felt facial hair games begin!
