The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) Awards is an award handed out by the Jaycees in the Philipines.

It started as a project of the Manila Jaycees in April 6, 1959. Later, it became a national project of the Philippine Jaycees at their 11th National Convention in Baguio City, October 15, 1959.

Since then the TOYM has become a respected and much anticipated event in the Philippines.

Awardees range from ages eighteen to forty (by the day of the awards), and lists many of the who's who in the country.
