International Men's Day 2025

Mackay Man of the Year Nomination

Shed Happens Mackay, is calling for nominations for the award of International Men’s Day 2025 (IMD25) Mackay Man Of The Year. We wish to celebrate the contribution good men make to our society by recognising one man at our Celebratory Breakfast on Wednesday 19 Nov 2025, International Men’s Day; a man who stands out from the crowd as one who reflects high qualities and is a solid leader of his family.

The winner of this award will receive the following recognition:

  1. His name engraved on the Mackay Man Of The Year Perpetual Trophy;
  2. A personal trophy recognising his achievement; and,
  3. A prize package consisting
    • a holiday courtsey of HelloWorld Travel
    • 12 month membership of Muscle Garden Gym
    • $200.00 cash

As men, we need to stop expecting to do it all ourselves. We are surrounded by people who love us, support us, and want to help us – let's embrace that

The most critical aspect of being a leader in our community is to get know ourselves

Everyday we need to stop and look around us at all the beautiful things we have in life and appreciate that we have helped create them

Being a leader in our community is about being a good person who is both curious and kind – it is not any more complex than that
