Time is almost up (a couple of weeks left) for nominations to the Anthill magazine Cool Company Awards for 2008. They’re running a little short on nominees for the Online Business award, so if you think you, or someone you know, should be nominated, then head over to the awards information page.

The inaugural Cool Company Awards were launched in February 2006 as a way for Anthill Magazine to celebrate Australian organisations that are doing things differently or defying convention to bring about positive change.

So, what does this mean?
Cool Companies manage to stay one step ahead of the rest. They breed leaders who are rule-makers and rule-breakers. They are organisations that aspire to be admired. They are trend-setters in attitude and action. Quite simply, they are cool.

Anthill has been really supportive of the tech startup industry in Australia so this would definitely be a good award to put in your portfolio.

Let us know if you nominate someone (even if it’s yourself) so we can keep track of how they go.
