We’ve revealed our finalists for this year’s All Star Bash awards, find out if your company made the cut!

We are fast approaching the year’s biggest celebration of retail, the 2026 All Star Bash, hosted by Power Retail on March 12 at Crown Palladium in Melbourne.

At the All Star Bash, we celebrate the best of the best in Australian retail, bringing together the best of the best in the industry and awarding a series of prestigious awards including the highly renowned Number One Retailer award.

For 2026, we’ve developed new and improved award categories that recognise the full spectrum of retail industries, ensuring that every area of Aussie retail has a chance to shine. From trailblazers in retail media and loyalty, to innovators in in store design, social media magicians, and game changing UX designers, this year’s awards reflect the evolving and dynamic nature of retail in Australia.

We are thrilled to announce that this year, alongside the launch of a new range of award categories, Power Retail has teamed up with Aboriginal Retail Australia to launch the Top First Nations Small Business Award to highlight First Nations‑led enterprises driving both commercial success and impact through ecommerce.

In order to develop our shortlist of finalists, we narrowed down hundreds of nominations to highlight the companies excelling and innovating in their category, to be judged by a panel of specialist ecommerce professionals and experts.

As well as the nominations, we have a series of awards determined by Power Retail’s proprietary Top 500 retailer ranking system that compares Australia’s top websites, analysed by our top team of in-house data experts.

Be a part of the fun and celebrate the best of the best in the ecommerce industry – it will certainly be a night to remember! Limited tickets remaining – secure yours now.

Finalists will be contacted over the coming week with next steps.

    Is there reasons why Kathmandu has not been included any of these finalists particularly around Top Sustainability Initiative?

    I would love to hear the insights as to the selection process.

      Hi Bianca,

      Thanks for your question! The Power Retail All Star Bash finalists are primarily selected from submissions made by retailers, with a couple of data-based awards based on our top 100 data rounding out the selection (fastest growth, top online only, and the number one retailer award). It is likely Kathmandu didn’t submit an entry in the Top Sustainability Initiative category this year.

      If you’d like more insight into the judging criteria or process, we’d be happy to share more information, please reach out to [email protected]
