Councillor David Smith, WNC's Cabinet Member for community safety and engagement, and regulatory Services, said: "There are so many men playing hugely important roles across West Northants communities and workplaces.
"However, we cannot recognise these individuals without the help of residents who know and work with them closely, so we are calling on you to help.
"What we’re looking for is not only someone who goes that extra mile, but that person who has made a real difference to those around them and helped to support their community and nurture the next generation of young men.

"It could be a family member who has been a rock during a challenging time, a neighbour who has set up a community group to support local children, or a friend who has campaigned for better healthcare – nominate your role model now."
International Men's Day (IMD) is celebrated around the world on November 19, and in the UK focuses on the core themes of making a positive difference to the wellbeing and lives of men and boys, promoting a positive conversation about men, manhood and masculinity and raising awareness of charities supporting men and boys’ wellbeing.
Nominations close on Sunday November 6. The finalists will be announced at an awards ceremony which will take place at Northampton Museum on International Men's Day on Friday November 18.
