Taking part in The John Heine Entrepreneurial Challenge (JHEC) requires both a human and financial investment– particularly for those travelling from interstate.
The JHEC team subsidy is designed to financially assist teams from Universities not located in the host city and its surrounding suburbs. Its aim is to encourage University’s to participate who may have found the expense associated with flights and accommodation as a barrier to competing in The John Heine Entrepreneurial Challenge.
The subsidy has been designed to contribute towards, but not fully cover the additional travel costs incurred by travelling from interstate. Competitors must participate over the entire two days of the competition in order to be eligible for the travel subsidy.

The JHEC team subsidy has been allocated based on additional travel costs incurred by travelling from interstate. Teams must submit a Supplier Maintenance Form as part of the entry requirements, allowing prize monies, reimbursements or subsidies to be paid to eligible teams/ team members. Subsidies will be paid either:
- directly to each individual team member, or
- one team payment (x # team members) to the business entity, or
- directly to the home university*
A combination of these options is not available, eligible teams must choose one method. To claim your subsidy you must submit a Travel Subsidy Claim Form in addition to the Supplier Maintenance Form.
Subsidies will only be paid post competition to the actual number of team members who physically attended and competed in the competition.
Total subsidy amount is calculated on per team member basis and scale of subsidy is directly related to the participating university’s proximity to Brisbane City.
Teams from university's in Brisbane are not eligible to receive this subsidy. See the competition Terms and Conditions for further details*.
