Own The Dream

Registration and participation is free.

A maximum of 40 teams (approximately 200 people) will be approved.  It is crucial your captain submits a strong application.

Ensure your team meet the eligibility requirements of no more than 50% owners. We also take into consideration your 100 words on why your team should be accepted. 

Attend the competition events! For each event you attend, will earn your team a token for the major prize draw.

A team of four who attends the first event will earn four tokens in the barrel. The maximum number of tokens that can be earned is a team of eight who all attend the three events = 24 tokens. 

It all comes down to luck, but the more tokens you earn, will put your team in the best chance of winning.

Simply check-in at the start of each event for your attendance to be recorded. Look out for the Own The Dream staff at each event for assistance.

You want to give your team the best chance of winning so if late January/February is looking busy for you, it would be wise to inform your team captain. Make sure you can attend as many of the events on offer. Teams who are not present at the first two events will be ineligble to attend the Grand Finale Race Day event.

The Own The Dream event series is strictly an 18+ competition. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept children at any of the stable or stud farm tours.

While we will do our best to accommodate all requests before Event 1, we’re unable to change team members once the vetting and finalisation of teams has been conducted. Please ensure you have put forward the best possible team at the start.

Food is provided at all events which will range from canapes and light refreshments to full lunches. Please check the event description prior to attending and ensure your team captain has completed your dietary requirements at the registration process. Please note some dietaries may not be able to be accommodated. Please advise us prior so we can assist with planning.

The barrel with all competition tokens will be placed on stage at the Grand Finale event with first prize being drawn first, followed by second prize and then third.

Believe it or not, this has happened twice with the first-place prize. With many teams accumulating plenty of tokens due to their attendance across the series, it is no surprise that their team is drawn twice. Unfortunately for those lucky teams you cannot claim more than one prize, so a re-draw is conducted until a new team claims the prize. This is why we draw the major award first so any following draws for the same team will be a lesser amount.

Own The Dream is not just about events! We also provide our teams with weekly challenges! These are sent to teams via SMS/EDM throughout the competition and the winners will enjoy additional prizes outside of the competition prizes if successful. 

Yes, so long your team consists of 50% non-owners and meets the eligibility requirements.
