Contest is open to active-duty volunteer, part-time, and full-time firefighters serving in our nine-county service area: Allen, Auglaize, Hancock, Hardin, Logan, Mercer, Putnam, Shelby, and Van Wert counties. Limit one entry per firefighter. Submitted photos must be current and feature a natural mustache. Entries must be submitted through this form by November 30, 2026. The winner will be determined by a combination of public social media voting (50%) and the Swartz judging panel (50%); the highest combined score wins, with the judging panel determining the winner in the event of a tie. The winner will be announced December 15, 2026, and will receive the 2026 Swartz Firefighter Mustache Champion trophy, a $100 Visa gift card, a meal for the winner’s crew/shift, and—most importantly—bragging rights!
