Once their head is in the frame, they start making the funniest and weirdest faces they can. They twist their features into silly shapes to make people laugh. Judges decide who has the funniest face based on how creative it is, how funny it is, and how much the audience laughs. The sillier, the better! There's one big rule: they can't show their teeth. They have to hide their teeth behind their lips. The person who makes the funniest face wins and becomes the "World Gurning Champion."
