Answers to questions about the Sunsuper Dreams site can be found here.
What is Sunsuper Dreams?
Sunsuper Dreams is all about doing something positive for the community in a really meaningful way. This Sunsuper initiative gives individuals, groups and organisations the opportunity to be awarded a $5,000 grant to help realise a dream for a better world.
How does it work?
We offer individuals, groups and organisations the opportunity to nominate a recipient to be awarded a $5,000 grant through the posting of a dream for a better world on sunsuperdreams.com.au. Each dream will then be voted for by visitors to the website by clicking on the 'vote' prompt and entering their email address. Voters will then be sent an email to that email address to validate their vote. The nominated recipient of the dream with the most votes at the end of each round of voting will be awarded a $5,000 grant.
What is the bonus Australia Day Grant?
To celebrate Australia Day, for Round 11 Sunsuper will be awarding an extra grant to a dream of their choosing that benefits an Australian charity, organisation or cause. This decision will be at the sole discretion of the Promoter. For this round, two $5,000 grants will be awarded, one to the dream with the highest number of votes, and the other awarded to a dream to be carried out within Australia.
What kind of dreams qualify?
Dreams that make the world a better place by making a positive impact in the community will qualify. The dream project must also be able to be undertaken within six months of winning.
How are the votes counted?
Visitors to sunsuperdreams.com.au can vote for dreams that they find the most worthy by clicking on the 'vote' button beside the dream of their choice. The voter will then need to validate their vote from their email account. The dream with the most votes at the end of each round will be our winner. Each person may vote for each dream only once, but can vote for as many dreams as they wish.
Who can submit a dream?
Both Sunsuper members and non-Sunsuper members who are permanent residents of Australia aged 18 years or older as at August 1, 2011, can enter.
What do I need to submit a dream?
You will need to complete the online entry form about your dream, including its title, description and why you want your dream to be funded. This information will also be used to determine if your dream is appropriate (e.g. positive impact in the community) for the Sunsuper Dream initiative.
Why do I need to list a nominee organisation or individual?
The proceeds from the winning Sunsuper Dreams submissions are required to be distributed to an organisation or individual on the submitter's behalf. This is why all dream submissions need to include the nominated organisation or individual that will benefit from the $5,000 grant.

Can anyone vote for a dream?

How do I get my dream featured on the Sunsuper Dreams homepage?
