A list of 300 nominations for Queensland cultural icons was compiled by the Queensland Government, organised into 10 categories, and then the Queensland public were invited to vote to produce a final list of 150 icons.
The final list was announced on 10 June 2009 by the Queensland Premier Anna Bligh, as part of the Q150 celebration of Queensland's foundation.
