Prize Details

Minor Prizes
Each minor prize is $5,000 (to be awarded either by cheque or EFT into the winner’s bank account as determined by the Promoter).
Major Prize
The major prize is an opportunity for the major prize winner to “re-live” their experience that is the subject of their Holiday Flashback Story as determined by the Promoter in its absolute discretion.
The major prize may include, but is not limited to, the following prize elements:
 travel from the major prize winner’s nearest Australian capital city to the relevant major prize destination (mode and class of transport to be determined by the Promoter);
 accommodation for the duration of the trip (accommodation type and star rating to be determined by the Promoter); and
 if applicable and possible, activities and meals associated with the relevant Holiday Flashback Story (to be determined by the Promoter).
The Promoter reserves the right to determine which prize elements are included and to determine if aspects of the major prize winner’s “Holiday Flashback Story” are inappropriate, unsuitable or not viable. The Promoter does not make any representations or guarantees that the major prize will include any particular components or that the major prize winner will be able to take any or all aspects of their Holiday Flashback Story. The Promoter’s decision in respect of all aspects of the major prize is final.
The major prize will be valued between $5,000 and $12,000 (inc GST) (depending on the major prize winner’s holiday destination, point of departure and inclusions of the trip (e.g. any activities associated with the Holiday Flashback Story)). The actual value of the major prize as awarded to the major prize winner will be determined by the Promoter in its discretion (based on the prize elements awarded by reference to the major prize winner’s Holiday Flashback Story) regardless of whether the maximum prize value of $12,000 is reached. Any costs incurred over the maximum prize value of $12,000 are at the major prize winner’s expense.
All aspects of the major prize (including but limited to any associated activities) are subject to availability at the time of booking.
The Promoter may decide in its absolute discretion (in consultation with the major prize winner) whether the major prize awarded to the major prize winner (or aspects of the major prize) will include one or more of the major prize winner’s companion/s (by reference to the major prize winner’s Holiday Flashback Story). By entering and/or accepting the major prize, entrants acknowledge and agree that in order for one or more companion/s to participate in the major prize, certain elements of the major prize winner’s “Holiday Flashback Story”
15292636/8
may need to be substituted so as not to exceed the maximum prize value of $12,000. Any costs incurred in relation to the major prize winner’s companion/s participation in the major prize over and above the maximum stated prize value must be borne by the major prize winner and his/her companion/s as incurred.
Any additional costs associated with the major prize, including but not limited to additional meals, spending money, incidental expenses, additional travel and accommodation and insurances that are not otherwise included are the responsibility of the major prize winner (and his/her companion/s, if applicable).
See paragraphs 9 and 10 for full major prize details and conditions.
Prize Pool
The total prize pool is valued at up to $52,000 (inc GST), depending on the major prize winner’s holiday destination and point of departure.
