The runner up video of our photo and video competition, congratulations Louise! ✨🇳🇿❤️

“Maybe it wasn’t about the 2026 Rhapsody Rotorua… but about the friends we made along the way. (Okay, that was cringe 😭) Just a little collection of the limited footage I captured throughout an unforgettable trip. Every day brought something new, and no video could really capture the experience, the music, or the memories we made. A huge thank you to all the teachers and staff who made the journey so smooth, and especially to WorldStrides for creating an opportunity for aspiring musicians across Oceania to come together, perform, and make memories. 🇳🇿🎶”

Thank you for sharing your collection of memories with us all, Louise! 👏🏼🤍

Congratulations to Olivia, the winner of the 2026 Rhapsody Rotorua Photo & Video Competition! 🎉

“This video recaps my experience with Rhapsody Rotorua, featuring students from schools across Australia. From music and performances to exploring New Zealand and making memories with friends, every day was something new. What made this trip so special were the fun activities, new opportunities, and the people I got to experience it all with. These 90 seconds are a little summary of a trip I’ll never forget. Thank you Rhapsody Rotorua ❤️” - Olivia
