The winner will take home a $500 cash prize and the knowledge they have Perth’s best dirty mullet.

“We have quite a few local mullets,” Ms Weber said.

“We’ve had a really good response – about 17 people have entered so far.

Ms Weber said the mullets would be judged on length, style, accessories and overall appearance.

“Entrants are encouraged to dress up,” she said.

“We’ve been handing out cards saying ‘your mullet has impressed us'”.

Ms Weber said all the entrants had to apply on Facebook so there aren’t any standout hairstyles as yet.

There are still three places available in the comp – so head to their Facebook page to get in touch.
