Entry Details
6. To enter the Competition, entrants must complete the Entry Details during the Competition
Period.
7. Entrants can enter the Competition up to the Maximum Number of Entries. Entries must be
submitted separately and each entry must individually meet the requirements in the
Schedule and are subject to the Entry Restrictions. The Promoter reserves the right, at any
time, to verify the validity of entries and Entrants (including an entrant’s identity, age and
place of residence) and to disqualify any entrant who tampers with the entry process. Failure
by the Promoter to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those
rights.
Judging Details
8. The entrant(s) whose entry is judged by the Promoter’s panel of judges to be the most
original and creative (and any judging criteria set out in Judging Details of the Schedule) will
win the Prize. The Promoter and its panel of judges may, in their absolute discretion, decline
to award any or all Prizes, including where the judges determine that the entry is not of
publication standard. Chance plays no part in determining the Prize winners. Decisions of
the Promoter and its panel of judges are final and will be binding on each person who enters
the Competition and no correspondence will be entered into.
Prize
9. The Prize will be awarded as specified in the Schedule. The Prize values are the
recommended retail value, are in Australian dollars and are correct as at the time of the
commencement of the Competition Period. The Promoter accepts no responsibility for any
variation in the Prize value.
Prize Restrictions
10. The Promoter will not be responsible for any additional costs associated with use of the
Prize. The Prize winner is responsible for all costs associated with using the Prize including
(if applicable) travel and/or transfer costs, expenses with respect to food and beverages,
travel and medical insurance costs and spending money.
11. If a Prize is available in various locations, the Prize winner is only eligible to claim the Prize
in their nearest capital city. If the Prize occurs in the Prize winner’s home city, the Prize
winner will not be eligible to receive any accommodation or airfares (which may otherwise
have formed part of the Prize).
12. If the Prize is date specific, the Prize winner must be available to redeem the Prize on the
dates stipulated by the Promoter. If the Prize winner is not able to redeem the Prize on that
date, the Promoter may determine another Prize winner in its absolute discretion.
13. No component of the Prize can be transferred or redeemed for cash.
14. All Prizes are subject to availability. In the event that any of the Prizes or part of a Prize
becomes unavailable due to circumstances beyond the Promoter’s reasonable control, the
Promoter reserves the right to provide a similar product to the same or greater value as the
original prize, subject to any applicable laws or written directions made under applicable
legislation.
15. It is a condition of accepting the Prize that the winner (and any guests participating in using
the Prize) must comply with all the conditions of use of the Prize and Prize supplier’s
requirements.
16. If the Prize includes flights, entrants agree that:
a. the Prize does not include transfers to and from the winner’s place of residence to the

otherwise specified in these Terms and Conditions);
b. the flights must be utilised at the same time, for the same travel dates, to and from the
same destination;
c. no frequent flyer (or equivalent rewards program) points will accrue to the Prize winner
(and any guest participating in using the Prize) on the Prize flights or accommodation;
and
d. the booking time of the flights will be determined by the Promoter in its complete
discretion and blackout periods may apply including all public holidays.
17. If the Prize includes accommodation, it is a condition of accepting the Prize that the Prize
winner may be requested to present their credit card or a cash deposit upon arrival at any
accommodation to cover all ancillary costs they may incur during their stay. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Prize winner acknowledges that the accommodation part of the Prize
includes room charges only (and no ancillary costs such as room service).
18. If the Prize involves tickets to an event, the Promoter is not responsible for any changes in
times or dates, or cancellations or rescheduling of events that may prevent the Prize winner
from redeeming the Prize or any part of it.
