International Men’s Day celebrates worldwide the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. We highlight positive role models and raise awareness of men’s well-being.
Portsmouth's first International Men's Day event is being organised by Dadzclub who want to do all that they can to promote positive male voices from our community that inspire and help others. That is why on International Men's Day they are hosting an inclusive event that brings people and organisations together to listen, share and inspire.
Those attending the event will enter through the grand bronze doors at the top of the iconic guildhall steps and will be greeted with a drinks reception and later a finger buffet, whilst enjoying great music from Adam Ede and connecting with local organisations and listening to a diverse range of Inspirational Speakers.
Speakers include:

Good Luck!
We are excited to announce that the nominations for International Men’s Day Appreciation Award Ceremony are now open and we can't wait to receive your nominations for those inspirational men in our community!
The Appreciation Awards Ceremony will take place at Portsmouth Guildhall on the evening of Saturday 19th November and promises to be a prestigious night full of inspiring stories!
Successful nominations will be notified on or before Saturday 5th November, each award recipient will receive a ticket for themselves and a guest to attend the event where they will receive acknowledgment and be presented with an official International Men's Day Certificate and one of our International Men's Day Pillar Awards!
The judges will be using what you have written about your nominee to make their decisions so think carefully about what you write. The eight Pillars have been set deliberately broad to encourage greater participation. The important thing is that the recipient identifies as male and that their action’s are deserving of appreciation.
We wish that we could give every deserving nomination an award, we honestly would if we could!
As a small way to involve and celebrate as many men and boys as possible we will on Saturday 19th November provide a link to a downloadable certificate to print and give to those deserving men and boys in our community.
To nominate someone, we recommend that you get their permission or from their parent or carer if they are under 18 years of age. You may also be contacted about your nomination.
You may only nominate the same person once and duplicate forms will be discounted.
The awards are decided by a panel and will be based on what is written about any one nominee not necessarily on the number of times the same person is nominated.
The closing date for nominations will be at 23:30 on 31st October 2022.
By completing this nomination form you are accepting the T&C's which can be found at the bottom of this page.
