The countdown to the Cools has begun.
From the hundreds of applications we received this year, this impressive posse has been selected as our Top 100 Coolest Companies in Australia.
What next?
On 3 December, 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 2015) for the 2015 program unveiled.
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 ceremony.
Note: The following list is sorted by Category, Rank and, then, Alphabetical order. Category winners will be selected from the Finalists and named on the night. The Coolest Company is selected from the Category Winners.

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.
HON MENTION: You are not in the running to win your category but the judges defined your organisation as truly remarkable. Booh-yah! (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!
