Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enter the competition?

Entering is easy! Simply submit your best photo (featuring a human element) or video (capturing any aspect of your adventure) from an Inspiring Vacations tour taken in 2023, 2024, or 2025.

Fill out the entry form on this competition page, upload your content, and you're in the running to win.

What is the prize?

There are two prize categories:

  • Monthly Prize – One winner each month from February through to November will receive a $500 AUD Inspiring Vacations travel voucher.
  • Grand Prize – At the end of the competition, 11 winners will be selected for an exclusive 12-Day Sri Lanka Winners Tour (flights included from selected cities).
Is the competition open to anyone?

The competition is open to residents of Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada who are 18 years or older and have previously travelled on an Inspiring Vacations tour in the last two years.

💡 Canadian entrants should note that the Grand Prize does not include return flights from Canada. Canadian winners must arrange travel at their own expense to the nearest eligible departure city or directly to Sri Lanka.
