It's time to VOTE for your FAVOURITE selfie!

It's time to VOTE for your FAVOURITE selfie!

It's already that time again - time to cast your vote for our overall Work and Smile Selfie Challenge WINNER for the quarter June - August 2025!

In this round of the competition, you've been showing us what keeps your day running with our Tools of the trade challenge.

Today, we're sharing our awesome submissions from August 2025. We were stoked with the amount (and quality!) of selfies that came through this month, however it made it very difficult to pick a winner!

We've handed this month's top prize to Jerry Spiropoulos - First Responder Electrician, NSW for his impressive plane selfie (can't work at an airport without planes!) and his heartfelt Work and Smile 'Why'.

Before we get into our August submissions, you can vote for your favourite selfie this quarter - Jerry Spiropoulos, Afsheen Aftasi, or Paul Turnage!. Our overall winner will receive a $250 AUD e-gift card.

Voting closes COB 5 September - and then we'll announce our winner, as well as the next round of the competition!

In the meantime, you can keep on sending your selfies, and we'll enter them into the next phase of our competition. 

Pick our WINNER for this quarter!
