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.
