The votes are in and Wisconsin youth Emmitt Bailey has been crowned the 2022 USA Mullet Champion Kids Division winner.

Bailey, 8, of Menomonie, is one of 25 minors across the country who made it to the final round of the USA Mullet Championships.

His prize: The title of best mullet in the nation for his age division and $2,500 in cash.

Kid finalist Epic Orta of La Joya, Texas placed second in the division followed by William Dale Ramsey of Pataskala, Ohio, who came in third.

To enter, kids submitted photos of their haircuts to garner enough likes on Facebook to advance to the next round. Contestants submitted front, back and side images of their mullets, as well as a name for their locks.

Nearly 700 original entries for the kids division was whittled down to 25. Eleven teens competed in their category, down from 80 contest entrants.

"WooooHoooo go Emmitt," Lesli Elkins Baltz posted on Facebook. "We hope you’re having a blast!"

"Congratulations!" Sandra Wolf also replied. "My grand son was in the mullet contest. He did great also! Have fun!!"
