In order to get the Man of rhe Year Decree one has to pay US $ 195.00.
(This is the "unlaminated" version - One can get also the "Decree
Custom Laminated onto Finland Birch Wood" for US $ 295.00.)
And one may supply 10 further nominations of colleagues
(if all pay, this amounts to US $ 2145.00).
I asked for a list of all those having been selected in this way.
Here is the answer:
After checking our files I found that over 200 men have been selected
worldwide this year to receive our Man of the Year award. Please remember
that these men have been chosen because they are outstanding in their
professional fields and/or have contributed to communities and society as a
whole. The attached copy
shows a sampling of names and countries of about 60 men
who have been chosen as Man of the Year 2005.
