Competition in Australia
In Australia, a sweepstake is known as a competition, however the technical name for a consumer competition is a trade promotion lottery or lottos.
A trade promotion lottery is a free entry lottery conducted to promote goods or services supplied by a business. The most common example is when you buy a particular good or service and you are given the chance to enter into the lottery and possibly win a prize. They are often called a competition, contest, sweepstake, or giveaway.
Companies or promoters require a trade promotion lottery permit if the winner(s) are to be chosen via a random draw, but if there is a creative component (words or less answer), then no permit is required as entries are judged.
Many compers attend annual national conventions. In 2012 over 100 people met on the Gold Coast, Queensland to discuss competitions
