Tang Shuquan challenged anyone who can defeat him in a public performance of changing faces will get 100,000 yuan (US$15,706) as award.

He’s capable of making a face even a mother’d be pressed to love - and it’s won him $10,000.

Tang Shuquan of Chengdu City, China, spent years working on contorting his face into the ugliest shapes possible.

On Wednesday was rewarded for his years of hard work with a $10,000 prize and Guinness medal for the world’s most twisted face.

So confident in his expertise, the 43-year-old is turning around and challenging the public to out-ugly him in a faceoff. 

Anyone that can will get $15,000, reported the Associated Press.

Shuquan, who looks perfectly normal when he's not twisting his face up, can protrude his jaw so far up it covers the lips and bites his nose. 

The odd grimace is called 'gurning.’ It's not pretty.

Shuquan started putting on pubilc performances of his ability 10 years ago, and is known as the King of Deformed Faces by the Chinese media, according to the AP. Shuquan competed in the World Guinness Records show in Italy in March, and was finally awarded the Guinness medal.
