PRIZE
15. There is one prize to be won, consisting of:
(i) two (2) return economy class airfares to Shanghai, China, for the winner and one (1) nominated travel companion, departing from the winner’s nearest Australian capital city and including standard airline checked baggage. Flights, airlines and routing are selected by the Promoter in its absolute discretion, and may be direct or involve one or more connections depending on availability. The winner and their travel companion must travel together on the same itinerary; and
(ii) five (5) nights’ accommodation in Shanghai, China, for the winner and their travel companion, in one (1) room (twin share or one double bed, subject to the winner’s preference and availability), in a hotel of four (4) star standard or above selected by the Promoter,
(together, “the Prize”).
16. The total approximate value of the Prize is up to $5,000 AUD, correct as at 14 September 2026. The actual value may vary depending on flight and accommodation pricing and exchange rates at the time of booking. The winner is not entitled to receive the difference between the stated approximate value and the actual value of the Prize.
17. The Prize is for two (2) people only: the winner and one (1) nominated travel companion aged 18 years or older. Travel dates are subject to flight and accommodation availability, and travel must be completed within one of the following periods: (i) 15 March 2027 to 25 April 2027, excluding 3 to 5 April 2027; (ii) 8 May 2027 to 6 June 2027; or (iii) 11 October 2027 to 21 November 2027, on dates mutually agreed between the Promoter and the winner. If the winner is unable to travel within one of these periods, the Prize will be forfeited and no compensation or alternative will be provided.
18. It is the responsibility of the winner and their travel companion, at their own cost, to meet all requirements necessary to take up and use the Prize, including:
(i) holding a valid passport with at least six (6) months’ validity beyond the return travel date;
(ii) obtaining any visa, entry permit or other authorisation required for entry into China at the time of travel;

(iv) meeting any health, vaccination, customs or other entry requirements in force at the time of travel.
The Promoter may require the winner to provide evidence of valid travel insurance for both travellers before travel documents are issued. Failure to obtain travel insurance does not entitle the winner to any extension, substitution or compensation, and the Promoter accepts no liability arising from the winner or their travel companion travelling without insurance.
19. The Prize does not include, and the winner and their travel companion are solely responsible for, all costs not expressly listed in clause 15, including but not limited to travel insurance, visas and associated application fees, passport applications and renewals, meals and beverages, airport and ground transfers, transport within China, spending money, additional excursions or activities, minibar and in-room charges, and any costs arising from flight delays, cancellations or itinerary changes.
20. The Prize is not transferable or exchangeable, and cannot be redeemed for cash, in whole or in part, except at the Promoter’s sole discretion.
21. If any part of the Prize is unavailable for any reason, the Promoter may, in its absolute discretion, substitute that part of the Prize for an item of equal or greater value, as determined by the Promoter.

30.
