The family of the 25-year-old took out a print commercial in The Canberra Times on Wednesday, advertising for well-experienced hikers or search teams to find Mr Srawn alive.
The renewed reward follows a move by NSW Police to scale back the search efforts, however the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter was tasked for an aerial search on Wednesday.
Search participants are required to cover their own expenses during the efforts and only the searchers that find Mr Srawn will receive the reward.
The advert comes amid an ongoing campaign by Mr Srawn’s family and friends, who have been targeting both Australian and Canadian governments through social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
The family of the Bond University student plan to stay in Jindabyne until searchers found Mr Srawn, who was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. NSW police believe he may be wearing a red and black ski jacket including the words "Frogg Toggs".
He was last seen when he parked his car at Charlotte Pass Village on May 13.
