25 years ago the thought of hosting a moustache competition between offices in the likes of Delhi, Shanghai, Tokyo, Portland, London, all within the space of 24 hours, would have seemed preposterous.

As it happens, we managed almost 100 moustaches in 7 offices, and raised over £350 for Prostrate cancer charity. We finally have the winners, and the global shortlist, but first here's a few facts gathered from the day.

• Dan Wieden currently employs 2 cats. Both with moustaches. 

• We have a WWF wrestler working in New York:

• Burt Reynolds works in the Amsterdam office (naked), whilst two Italian plumbers work here in W+K London:

• Portland is significantly better than London at voting. 

• It is of course the girls who prove that ignoring the rules and thinking outside of the box can lead to more interesting results.

So now the moment you've been waiting for:

(Drumroll)

The Winners have been selected:

Best Woustache: Tomoko – Tokyo! Beautiful shape and finish.

Best Tom Selleck: Chris Thurman – PDX. Fantastic form. A true match to a classic cut.

Chris also pics 2 more accolades for the worst shirt, and most effort. On Monday his outfit included deck shoes, faded acid wash jeans, and he attempted to secure two miniature Doberman pinchers for the day to complete the look.

Best Moustache: Rajesh Bhargava – Delhi. 

So good few others in India dared to challenge.

Evan Dumas of Portland was only a whisker away from claiming this crown.

Well done all. We have a small trophy to send each of you.
