The countdown to the Cools has begun.
From the hundreds of applications we received this year, 100 have been selected as our Top 100 Coolest Companies in Australia.
What next?
On 21 November, super-rad representatives from our bodaciously bad-ass Cool Company Top 100 will gather in Melbourne to celebrate their achievements and watch the category winners (and Coolest Company 2013) for the 2013 program unveiled.

FINALIST: You are a category FINALIST and, therefore, you are in the running to win your category(ies) and, therefore, Coolest Company of the Year. Booh-yah!
HIGHLY COMMENDED: You are not in the running to win your category but the judges defined your organisation as truly remarkable. (What would Seth Godin say?)
TOP 100: Our judges found themselves irrepressibly compelled to say, ‘Great job! Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re awesome.’ (That’s right… likely to inspire awe.)
If you’re on the list, you have much to celebrate!
If your organisation is on this list, congratulations. Every win is worth celebrating in business and being acknowledged in the Cool Company Awards is an uber-impressive feat. (The bar is set very high.) Click here to get your ticket for the awards ceremony.
