1. The promoter
This competition is conducted by R.A.H. Travel Studio, ABN 96 951 579 951, of Sydney NSW ("the Promoter"). Contact: enrique@rah-travelstudio.com.
2. Who can enter
Entry is open to residents of Australia aged 18 years or over at the time of entry. Employees of the Promoter, their immediate families, and anyone professionally associated with this competition or its prize suppliers, are not eligible.
3. When it runs
Entries open on 01 October 2026 and close at 30 November 2026 ("the Competition Period"). Entries received outside the Competition Period are not valid.
4. How to enter
Entry is free and no purchase is necessary.
To enter, complete the entry form at www.rah-travelstudio.com during the Competition Period, providing your name and email address, and answer the following in [25] words or fewer:
Where have you been meaning to go, and what is it about the place you cannot shake?
One entry per person. Entries that are incomplete, illegible, automated, submitted on behalf of another person, or that exceed the word limit are not valid.
Where the form offers the opportunity to receive the Promoter's communications, that is a separate and optional choice, and declining it does not affect your entry or its chances.
5. The prize
Total prize value is $200 including GST. The prize does not include: flights, transfers, meals and beverages other than those stated, minibar, spa or other incidentals, travel insurance, passports, visas, vaccinations, spending money, or any other cost not expressly listed above. Any such cost is the winner's responsibility.
6. Using the prize
The prize is not transferable, not redeemable for cash, and cannot be exchanged in whole or in part for any other goods or services.
If the prize or any part of it becomes unavailable for reasons beyond the Promoter's control, the Promoter may substitute a prize of equal or greater value.
The winner and any accompanying traveller are responsible for holding valid identification and, where relevant, passports with sufficient remaining validity, visas, and any health requirements. The Promoter strongly recommends comprehensive travel insurance. Failure to meet entry or travel requirements does not entitle the winner to any alternative or refund.
7. How the winner is chosen
This is a game of skill. Chance plays no part in determining the winner.
Entries will be judged by R.A.H. Travel Studio. Entries are judged on merit rather than in order of receipt, against the following criteria:
Originality of the response: 50%
How vividly it conveys the place and why it matters to the entrant: 50%
The entry judged best against these criteria wins. In the event of a tie, the tied entries will be judged again by the same judge against the same criteria until a single winner is determined. The judges' decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
8. Telling the winner
The winner will be notified by email within two business days of judging. Judging will take place on Monday 2nd November 2026.
9. If the prize is not claimed
If the winner cannot be contacted, or does not claim the prize, within three months of the judging date, the Promoter will judge the remaining valid entries again at the same place and against the same criteria. The original winner forfeits all claim to the prize.
10. Your information
The Promoter collects entrants' personal information in order to run this competition. It will be handled in accordance with the Promoter's privacy policy and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Entry details may be disclosed to the prize supplier for the purpose of arranging the prize. The Promoter will not sell entrants' information or disclose it to any other third party.
Entrants who have separately opted in may receive the Promoter's communications and can withdraw that consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in any message.
11. Publicity and your entry
By accepting the prize, the winner agrees to the Promoter using their first name, initial, suburb and the fact of their win for promotional purposes without further compensation.
Entrants retain ownership of their entry. By entering, you grant the Promoter a non-exclusive licence to reproduce your entry, without attribution beyond your first name and initial, for the purposes of judging and promoting this competition. Any other use of your words, photograph or likeness requires your separate written consent, which you are free to withhold.
12. Liability
The Promoter is not responsible for entries that are lost, delayed, corrupted or not received for any reason, or for any technical failure affecting entry.
The Promoter arranges travel with third party suppliers and is not responsible for their acts, omissions, delays, cancellations or insolvency, or for events beyond its reasonable control. To the extent permitted by law, the Promoter excludes liability for any loss or damage arising from this competition or from taking the prize.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty or other term implied or imposed by law, including under the Australian Consumer Law, which cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
13. General
The Promoter may amend these terms, or vary, suspend or terminate the competition, where it is reasonably necessary to do so.
Entries that the Promoter reasonably believes involve fraud, tampering, plagiarism or breach of these terms may be disqualified.
These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, and entrants submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.
By entering, you accept these terms.
