We are a nation of very handsome creatures.
Unfortunately, none of those said handsome creatures responded last week when we put the call out to our readers looking for contenders for the best lookin’ JOE from down the road award in the JOE Men of the Year awards for 2016.
Ahhhhh, KIDDING.
As we expected, we got loads and loads of entries from handsome menfolk all over the country and, as we expected and hoped, some took it quite seriously and others took a more light-hearted approach.
The handsome members of the JOE editorial team (not pictured) will soon whittle a long list of contenders down to five finalists, but before we do, we wanted to give you an indication of the quality of entrants so far.
Scroll down below to have a look for yourself, but be sure to take necessary precautions to prevent yourself from fainting at the sheer handsomeness of the men below.
