A Brit has the best international mullet Down Under.

Graphic designer Rob Ayton snagged the haircut prize at the annual Mulletfest in New South Wales, a state in southeastern Australia.

“It genuinely feels like it’s been a religious ceremony for me, Australia — you’ve been amazing,” Ayton told Daily Mirror.

Ayton, 31, of Devon, claims he first got the iconic “business in the front, party in the back” style as a joke during an Aussie getaway three years ago, but soon found he liked being a mullet man.

Today, his hair in back hits his shoulder blade.

Growing a good mullet, Ayton said, takes “time and patience, and being able to handle a s–t ton of negative feedback.”

Mulletfest, according to its website, is a day that honors “the best Mullet cuts in various styles and categories, including ‘everyday’, ‘grubby’, ‘ranga’ (red hair), ‘vintage’, ‘extreme’, ‘international’ and ‘junior.'”

Contestants are judged not only on their hair but on their overall presentation and stage presence. All competition entrants are judged on their haircut, overall presentation and stage presence.
