The year before, the organization held its inaugural Australian Make It Awards for Australian entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs who are small-scale. The Make It Awards come from the start of 2003, when the president Anthony Casalena founded the company with a loan of $30,000 that was used for the purchase of the first servers.

With the Make It Awards, we're offering a donation to our Australian business community by providing three companies with the opportunity to receive a grant of $30,000 that will help further their goals. The winners of the awards were selected out of more than 2,500 applications that were judged on their business strategies, innovativeness, value for the community and the branding and design. Meet Reef Design Lab, Lousy Ink, and The Difference Three businesses with a mission that do sustainable and community-focused projects.
