A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our 2025 Travel Well Spent Competition. Each month, one lucky traveller was crowned our winner of the month and received a $500 voucher to use towards future tours with Inspiring Vacations.
So, what's next?
Stay tuned for the very exciting Grand Prize Winners selection. Twenty entries from 2025 will be shortlisted with a chance to win one of 11 grand prize spots on the "Winners Tour" to Sri Lanka, a 12-day journey packed with culture, history, and breathtaking scenery—with return flights included from select cities. And you get to help select them!
On 3 December 2025, we will announce the shortlist of 20 incredible photos or videos that stole our hearts this past year.
The community voting period (that's you!) will commence at 9:01am AEDT on 3 December 2025 and end on 11:59pm AEST on 10 December 2025.
Eleven winners (each with a companion) will be selected to embark on the exclusive 12-day Winners Tour of Sri Lanka in 2026.
Five winners will be determined by community voting, and the remaining six winners will be selected by Inspiring Vacations judges.
Click here for complete Terms and Conditions, including eligible departure cities for the Grand Prize flights.
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.
There are two prize categories:
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.
Yes! You can submit one photo and one video per month—but you’re not required to submit both. Each month is a new opportunity to win!
Just be sure each entry is unique (no duplicates from month to month) and that you have not submitted your entries to any previous Inspiring Vacations competitions.
From March through to October, monthly winners are announced on the 9th of the month. November's monthly winner will be announced on the 21st of November.
The 11 Grand Prize winners are chosen after the competition closes. The top 20 entries will be shortlisted on November 25, 2025, and the winners will be selected through community voting and Inspiring Vacations judges.
All winners will be announced on our website and contacted directly via email on the 15th of December 2025.
