Win a Michelin Food Trip in South Australia

The Ultimate Reservation competition from the South Australian Tourism Commission is open to people aged 18 years or older who ordinarily live in Australia or New Zealand and have a current residential address there. Entrants must submit an eligible video entry and be available for a 20-minute video interview if selected as a finalist. The first-prize winner must also be available for the required travel and filming period. Only one entry per person is permitted, and you do not need to be a food expert or have visited South Australia before.

Entries open at 9:00am ACDT on Friday 6 November 2026 and close at 11:59pm ACDT on Monday 30 November 2026. All times are Australian Central Daylight Time, the local time in Adelaide. Round-one judging begins from 1 December 2026, finalist interviews start on 14 December 2026, and the first prize winner and second prize winners will be contacted by email and/or telephone no later than 24 December 2026.

The first prize is a South Australian food and travel experience valued at up to $20,000 for the winner and one adult companion, expected between late March and May 2027 and lasting about 7 to 8 days. It includes return economy flights, accommodation of at least four-star standard, itinerary transfers, main meals, dining at selected MICHELIN Guide South Australia 2027 restaurants, regional, producer and wine-region experiences, and time with a former MICHELIN Guide inspector. Twenty second prize winners each receive a $500 dining booking at a MICHELIN Guide South Australia 2027 recognised venue. Travel insurance and personal expenses are not included.

This is a game of skill, not a random draw. Make an original video of 60 seconds or less (up to 98MB) responding to: "Show us why you're excited to experience Australia's first MICHELIN Guide recognised food culture and discover South Australia with a former MICHELIN Guide Inspector." Upload it through the online entry form, provide your details and accept the Terms and Conditions. Videos are scored on passion for food (25 points), interest in exploring South Australia (25 points) and expression and originality (30 points). The three highest-scoring entrants go to an interview worth a further 20 points.
