Photo Competition 2026 Terms & Conditions

Competition Period

Entries and public voting open on 4 August 2026 and close at 11:59 pm AEDT on 31 October 2026.

Eligibility

Entry is open to anyone who submits an eligible photograph featuring one or more Restoration Online products installed in a home, renovation, commercial space or other project.

Entrants under 18 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to enter.

How to Enter

Complete the online entry form and upload a clear photograph showing one or more installed Restoration Online products.

Multiple entries are permitted, provided each entry contains a different photograph.

Restoration Online may reject entries that are incomplete, inappropriate, misleading, poor quality, substantially duplicated or do not clearly feature a Restoration Online product.

Photo Permissions

By entering, you confirm that:

  • you took the photograph or have permission from the photographer to submit it;
  • you have permission to submit photographs of the property or project shown;
  • you have permission from any identifiable people appearing in the photograph; and
  • the photograph does not infringe another person’s rights.

Prizes

There are two prizes:

  • Restoration Online Choice: an $800 Restoration Online voucher, awarded to the entry selected by the Restoration Online team.
  • People’s Choice: a $100 Restoration Online voucher, awarded to the eligible entry receiving the highest number of verified public votes.

The total prize pool is valued at $900 AUD.

An entrant may win both prizes.

Judging

The Restoration Online Choice winner will be selected based on photographic quality, creativity, styling, presentation and the way Restoration Online products have been incorporated into the project.

The judges’ decision is final.

Voting

Each person may vote once for each entry during the voting period. A person may vote for more than one entry but may not vote for the same entry more than once.

Automated, purchased, duplicate, fraudulent or otherwise manipulated votes will not be counted.

Restoration Online may remove invalid votes or disqualify an entry where the entrant has participated in or encouraged vote manipulation.

If two entries receive the same highest number of verified votes, Restoration Online will select the People’s Choice winner from the tied entries using the judging criteria above.
