| | | The early-rate deadline may have passed, but applications for Fast Company’s 2025 World Changing Ideas Awards are still open through December 6. If you represent a product, concept, company, policy, or design that is pursuing innovation for the good of society and the planet, Fast Company wants to consider it for next year's list. Debuting a new, single-list format next year, these awards are an incredible opportunity to be recognized. Here are some of the top reasons to apply: |
| |
|
|
|
| | | | | Brand Exposure | | Every company that applies will be seen and evaluated by Fast Company’s editorial staff. Winners will be featured in the Summer 2025 issue and on fastcompany.com. |
|
|
| | | | Recognition | | As part of this community, there is year-round recognition of your organization’s achievements. Executives will be considered for speaking opportunities, receive invitations to private events, and become eligible to join our exclusive Fast Company Impact Council. |
|
|
| | | | Boost Team Morale | | Being honored can help launch your company to even greater success. Employees see it as a validation of their personal contribution and a reason to celebrate. It’s a feel-good recognition that fuels internal momentum and serves as a powerful tool for recruiting and retaining top talent. |
|
|
| | | | New Format
| | Rather than naming winners across 50 categories, we'll be publishing one definitive list of winners, considering every application and creating a list of the most compelling submissions, along with a few categories offering a chance of additional recognition for companies excelling in specific locations, sectors, and years in business.

| | | | New Award: Visionary of the Year
