The competition first ran in 2020 and has occurred every summer since - and now, it's time to cast your vote for your favorite among this year's finalists.
Voting for this year's kids' division began on Monday, and those looking to help pick a winner should do so soon, since it will close this Friday.
The competition was created by Michigan apparel and footwear store Bridge Street Exchange as a marketing idea. Owner Kevin Begola first launched the contest in his local town of Fenton, and after its success, he decided to expand it to a national event.
Now, he proudly calls himself 'the nation’s official mullet-ranking authority' after establishing 'a powerful platform within the mullet space.'
'The sponsor-friendly platform has engaged audiences in live event and digital formats, building an avid following,' a press release about the event claimed.
Some of the competitors in this year's contest include a young boy named Jack Grant, from Hosford, Florida, who has a mohawk on the top part of his head and a mullet on the bottom, and Zander Trainer, from Kennett, Missouri, who sports a mullet with fringe-style bangs.
Rustin Alphin, from Pocahontas, Arizona, appears to have the longest mullet in the competition.
Earlier this year, the competition teamed up with Major League Eating - who helped develop competitive eating through its Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest - in an attempt to 'expand' even further.
'We are excited to join forces with Major League Eating to expand the USA Mullet Championships to a host of new venues and fans,' said President Begola.
'MLE’s experience building a sponsorship-driven live-event brand will help support the rapid growth of the competitive mullet world.'

That ambiguous look is probably due to Mom spending an excessive amount of time combing, brushing, teasing and fluffing Junior’s hair for that contest.
We don’t usually see little boys take that much time styling their hair unless for class photos or First Communion.
Joe Dirt competition.
This style is traditionally associated with Florida man and suchlike. If you have an alligator in your pickup truck, then you probably have a mullet and bad teeth.
“Business in the front, party in the back!”
I vote for the one from Douglas, Ga. Probably didn’t need to do anything with his hair to get ready for the contest.
Brock from Georgia looks like he needs a Harley Davidson or an Indian Motorcycle.
Just imagine being on the receiving end of all that “excessive amount of time combing, brushing, teasing and fluffing.”
The boy is ruined. He’s done for.
No such thing as a “best mullet”.
Those are his baby teeth you jerk.
Get off your judgement horse, Karen. The first kid won the life lottery with a symmetrical golden mean face.
The 2nd kid is a typical gap tooth 7 yr old.
Black baby teeth?
Try to keep it polite and civil, my FRiend. No need for you to be a jerk about it.
“a symmetrical golden mean face”
A WHAT?

There is no Pocahontas, Arizona. They mean Pocahontas, Arkansas.
business in the front... party in the back ;)
Looks like the type that if they shaved his entire head, he’d still have a mullet.
We don’t need a resurgence of 80s and early 90s hairdos, these people suck so bad
