Tourism Tasmania De-Tourist Trails competition
How to enter
Go to the De-Tourist Trails entry page and answer the Competition Question: “In 50 words or less, tell us what ‘tourist condition’ would you most like to De-Tourist from, and why?” Entries over 50 words are invalid.
Dates
The competition starts at 12:01 am Hobart time on Thursday, 12 November 2026 and closes at 11:59 pm Hobart time on Thursday, 26 November 2026. Winners are notified in writing on or before Friday, 11 December 2026 and must claim their Prize by 11:59 pm Hobart time on Friday, 18 December 2026. Prizes are redeemed between 15 February 2027 and 30 April 2027.
Who can enter
Australian citizens or residents of Australia, currently residing in Australia, aged 18 or older at the time of entry. Limit of one entry per person. A winner must be able to travel to and remain in Tasmania during the redemption period, on the dates the Promoter nominates.
How winners are chosen
This is a game of skill and chance plays no part. A Panel of appropriately qualified judges judge each entry on the merit of its response and determines the winners. The Promoter and the Panel may use AI tools to help sort, assess or shortlist entries. The judges’ decision is final. If a winner is ineligible, cannot be notified within 7 days, is unable to accept or declines the Prize, or does not accept it within the required time, the Prize goes to the next best entry. A replacement winner must claim by the date the Promoter notifies.
Prizes
There are four (4) Prizes. Each Prize is valued at up to $5,000, depending on point of departure in Australia, and the total value of all Prizes is up to $20,000. Each Prize includes:
- domestic economy flights for the winner and one Companion from a major city in Australia to Hobart or Launceston (not included for any person whose ordinary residential address at the time of entry is in Tasmania);
- a self-drive De-Tourist trail of two to three days on one of four regional trails nominated by the winner, subject to availability;
- two nights’ accommodation in one room for two people;
- car hire for three days;
- three experiences for two people; and
- a prepaid Visa gift card of up to $900 to help cover food, fuel and other out-of-pocket expenses.
Claiming and taking part
To take part in the Prize, a winner must claim it in writing by the claim date, arrive and take part in line with the organised timings and itinerary, and meet each Participating Operator’s requirements, briefing and induction. Winners must not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, except that a person aged 18 or older may drink alcohol in moderation where the Promoter and the operator expressly permit it. A person who does not follow these requirements or an operator’s rules may be refused participation or have all or part of the Prize ended without notice, with no compensation. Winners tell the Promoter about any accessibility requirements when they choose their trail. The Promoter does not guarantee that every experience suits every accessibility need.
Hire vehicle
The person driving the hire vehicle must hold a valid Australian or New Zealand driver’s licence and meet all requirements set by the rental company including minimum age and licence requirements. Should neither the winner nor their Companion meet these requirements, the hire vehicle element of the Prize is forfeited, and the Promoter may arrange alternative transportation at its sole discretion. Insurance, insurance excess(es), security deposits, costs associated with the return of the hire vehicle, and any age based surcharges imposed by the rental company are not covered by the Promoter.
