GQ Australia editor Michael Christensen said: “Every year when it comes to compiling our extraordinary list of GQ Men of the Year the discussions get heated over who is the most deserving of the coveted GQ trophies. This year was no exception with a list of such deserving winners all showing us truly what it means to be a GQ man – sharper, better and smarter. Congratulations to all our winners.”
Audi Australia managing director Paul Sansom said: “The GQ Men of the Year Awards celebrate progressive thinkers and people who have excelled in their field, so it’s a great partnership for Audi. Progressiveness, or Vorsprung, is part of our DNA and we believe it’s important to recognise the talented Australians who are drivers of change and innovation.
“We’re also proud to be presenting a new talent of our own at GQ Men of the Year Awards – our brand new potent and progressive Audi RS 5 Coupe.”
