Some of these contests you may not have heard of, some of these will freak you out, some are very dangerous, some are just bizarre and some will gross you out. Be warned, this is not for the faint-hearted at all.
Here's our top ten weirdest contests from around the world. Please keep a barf bag handy for what you are about to see:
1. World Beard and Moustache Championships:
There is a website and everything for moustache championships, people of the world. Do take a look: www.worldbeardchampionships.com
Of course we from India have always been proud of our men and their moustaches. The moustache competition held in Pushkar Mela is immensely popular.
2. Chess Boxing:
Inspired by Enki Bilal's graphic novel, Froid Equateur, these contests apparently taken place around the world. Our very own Kolkata has hosted such an event as well.
This contest is a strange mix of boxing and chess. A punch for your Knight?
3. UK's Twerking Championships:
Twerking just won't go out of fashion, will it? This 'championship' began last year and believe it or not, is a very popular event.
4. World's Ugliest Dog Contest:
This is just mean. MEAN!
5. Miss Bumbum Competition:
Brazil's very own buttock contest. They judge people based on their behinds. Enough said. Please just Google. We cannot stomach the videos/pictures.
6. Insect Eating Contest:
EEW! Such a contest once caused the death of the winner of a bug eating contest in Florida.
By the way, people also do this as a dare among friends:
7. World Worm Charming Championships:
Britain, say what again? 'Charming' worms out of the ground? Ummm...why? They too have a website, though.
Worm charming is a family event by the by. *slow clap*

9. Phone Throwing Competition:
But why would you throw your phone? Whyyyyyyyy?
10. Extreme Ironing:

Which one would you pick as the strangest contest of them all?
