[p]Submit the screenshot in the dedicated channel on our Discord Server.[/p]

[p]It doesn't matter how the screenshot is taken. You could of course walk up to him and ask if you can take a picture. You could also take a picture without him noticing, maybe even from far away through your binoculars! However, he must be alive in the picture.[/p][p]Are you the proud owner of the Handlebar Moustache yourself? Be sure to equip it! We'll leave it up to you to decide how to deal with the paparazzi. You're of course allowed to join the contest yourself, but you'll need to find someone else with the moustache.[/p][p]The submissions deadline is Monday, November 17th.[/p][p]

If you're from outside of Europe, you can still participate in the contest if you'd like to send the prize to a European friend. Do make sure you have permission from that friend to send us their address![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]The Movember Organization[/h2][p] [/p][p]Mental stress plays a big factor in war. Being able to kill on command, keep charging under artillery fire and live under inhuman circumstances all take a serious toll on one's mind. Many of the soldiers lucky enough to make it home alive would bring the war with them as PTSD or shell shock.[/p][p]Even though WW1 isn't even remotely close to being the first war, it is the first time post-war trauma was formally recognized by doctors and society. And even that faced skepticism, as many simply assumed soldiers were faking it to not be sent back to the front lines.[/p][p]We understand a lot more about mental health and healthcare in general now, but stigmas remain. Many choose to avoid healthcare, either because it'll blow over, it can't be that bad, or they're expected to be a man and bottle it all up. This is where the Movember Organization comes in![/p][p][/p]

[p]Movember continues to shake up men’s health research, and transform the way that health services reach and support men, taking on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention with unwavering determination.

They have raised millions for men’s health, thanks to a passionate network of global Movember supporters. These critical funds have delivered more than 1,320 men’s health projects around the world. Funding hundreds of biomedical research projects and developing some of the largest prostate cancer registries in the world, based on the real-life experiences of hundreds of thousands of men. Since taking on mental health and suicide prevention in 2006, Movember has emphasised the importance of better social connections, early recognition of what men’s poor mental health looks like, and how clinicians can better respond to men in distress. They want to make sure more men know what to do when mental health issues appear, and that their supporters are better prepared to step in when they need it.

Movember will continue championing new research, cutting-edge treatments and healthy behaviours. Advocating for inclusive, gender-responsive healthcare systems that are tailored to the unique needs of men, women and LGBTQI+ people, from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds. In doing so, Movember hope to forge a future where barriers to healthy living are overcome, stigmas are removed, and where everyone has an equal opportunity to live a long healthy life. By improving men's health, we can have a profoundly positive impact on women, families, and society. Because healthier men mean a healthier world.

This moustache is a symbol of solidarity, plus it’s hard not to respect someone sporting such an impressive upper lip accessory. We hope the moustache adds a little bit of fun, whilst doing good![/p][p]- Daniel Cooper, Global Innovation Director at Movember[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
