40 people under the age of 40 are selected annually (this year from 130 nominated business owners). In Feb 2003, aussiehome.com Co-Founder and Director, Charlie Gunningham was duly inducted at a ceremony at the Fremantle Maritime Museum (see photos this page: with wife Lisa, and WA Business News Director Elton Swartz and Publisher Harry Kleyn.)

The judges' citation read: "The infamous ‘tech wreck’ of March 2000 could not stop the infant dot.com business aussiehome.com from surviving and achieving success. Co-founded by Charlie Gunningham, aussiehome.com has become a multi-award winning Internet and multi-media business that uses mapping technology to provide real estate information. It has become an national business with real estate operators in Sydney utilising the concept. Mr Gunningham is also a UWA School of Management adjunct lecturer in Organisational Behaviour and International Management."
