Subway hosts #Fanversary competition to find its biggest Aussie fan

To mark its 60th birthday, Subway Australia is giving one lucky fan free subs for life.

The announcement:

Global sandwich leader Subway® is turning the big 6-0 and instead of blowing out candles on a cake, they’re lighting up an Australia-wide search to find their biggest fan and reward them in the only way that feels right: FREE Subway® for life (psst… that’s $25K!).

Introducing #Fanversary; a celebration of Subway Footlong® sub obsessions, quirky customisations, nostalgic lunch breaks and the flavour-filled memories that only Subway® fans understand.

To take home the grand prize, Subway® Australia wants to see competition entries with passion, creativity, and a whole lot of flavour. Tell your story, sing a sub-inspired song, show off your Subway® tattoo (or get a new one!), drop a haiku, or film a TikTok tribute, whatever you choose, creativity is a must.

To enter the competition simply upload your entry to Instagram, TikTok or Facebook and tag Subway® Australia on socials with the hashtag #Fanversary.

Director of marketing for Subway® Australia and New Zealand, Rodica Titeica, said this milestone is all about celebrating a sandwich legacy that’s still on a roll.

“Subway’s heritage is deeply rooted in more than just sandwiches – it’s always been about the people; the loyal lunchbreak regulars, the cookie lovers, the Sandwich Artists™, and the Subway® fans,” Ms. Titeica said.

“We want to turn the spotlight on the legends who’ve loved us through every bite by celebrating the passion and personality they bring to the iconic Subway Footlong® sub.

“Through #Fanversary, we’re giving every fan permission to share the beautiful, bold, and even downright brazen ways they express their love for Subway®.

“From original songs to footlong tattoos, sub-themed decor, and everything in between, if you believe your love for Subway® is bigger and better than most, we want to see it.

“Crowning our biggest fan and serving them with $25k in prize money to eat Subway® for life feels like the ultimate way to say a big footlong thank you.”

Since opening the first Australian restaurant in 1988, Subway® has become a household name, fuelling everything from family road trips to footy sideline lunches and first-job memories.

Now, with more than 1,200 restaurants nationwide, Subway® is Australia’s largest restaurant brand by store count and is celebrating the fans who made it happen.

Throughout August, the brand’s global birthday month, Subway® Australia will also be popping up across the country with surprise and delight cookie giveaways.

The #Fanversary competition opens on Monday, 4th August and closes on Sunday, 17th August. The winner and official Subway® Australia’s biggest fan will be crowned on the brand’s global 60th birthday, Thursday 28 August 2025.
