Who is the Art of Manliness/Old Spice Man of the Year?

The Art of Manliness/Old Spice Man of the Year is a man who:
  • Looks out for his friends and family.
  • Does the right thing, even when it's not convenient.
  • Loyal to his friends and family.
  • Serves and gives back to his community.
  • Sacrifices for the good of others.
  • Works hard and never complains.
  • Who has a confident swagger, but isn't a pompous jerk.
  • Who has a sense of humor but doesn't cut people down.
  • Who embraces instead of shirks responsibility.
The Selection Timeline

From October 8, 2008 and until November 5, 2008, we'll be accepting nominations for the award. Nominations are open to anyone.
An editorial staff will whittle down the nominees to 10 manly finalists. Starting November 10, 2008 and running until December 8, 2008 voting will open up to the public at The Art of Manliness website. The finalist with the most votes will be named The Art of Manliness Man of the Year.

The Award

First and foremost, receiving the honor of being Man of the Year is an award in itself. But we want to do more for the Man of the Year. That's why we're giving the Man of the Year a $2,000 cash prize. That's right. The Grand Prize for the Man of the Year is $2,000 in cold hard cash. The Art of Manliness Man of the Year deserves such a handsome prize and we're happy to give it to them.
The 10 finalists won't be walking away empty handed. They'll be given an assortment of products from Old Spice.
How to Nominate

Do you know someone you think should be Man of the Year? Fill out and submit this online nomination form by November 5, 2008. You'll be required to give the nominee's name, age, and location. Also, you must upload a picture of the nominee and you must write a short essay in 800 words or less on why your nominee should be The Art of Manliness Man of the Year. This is your time to convince America that your nominee deserves the honor, so do your best. Finally, you must submit the name, phone number, and email address of two references who can vouch for your nominee's manliness.
