Help Elri represent NZ at WCOPA 2025 in Los Angeles, USA! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase her talent. Support her dream today!
Auckland
We are proud to announce that Elri Bosman has been selected to represent New Zealand at the 28th Annual World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA), to be held in July 2025 in Los Angeles, California. This will mark the 18th time that Team New Zealand participates in this prestigious international event, which hosts performers from over 60 countries.
Elri will be traveling with Team New Zealand around 14 July 2025, returning to Auckland on 29 July 2025, accompanied by her father, Abrie Bosman.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Elri to showcase her talent on a global stage and compete at an international level. Being selected is a significant achievement and reflects her dedication, talent, and hard work.
However, participating at this level involves substantial costs. The total expenses—including flights, accommodation, entry fees, seminars, team uniform, meals, vocal coaching, and taxes—are estimated at approximately $15,000 NZD.
To help make this dream a reality, Elri is seeking financial support through donations, sponsorships, or fundraising contributions. Without financial assistance, she will be unable to participate in this life-changing event.
Any support—large or small—will make a meaningful difference and will be deeply appreciated. Your contribution will not only support Elri’s journey but also help New Zealand shine on the world stage.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and belief in Elri’s talent.
Elri’s father, Abrie Bosman, will accompany her to WCOPA 2025 as part of Team New Zealand’s support team.
Participating at this level involves substantial costs. The total expenses—including flights, accommodation, entry fees, seminars, team uniform, meals, vocal coaching, and taxes—are estimated at approximately $15,000 NZD.

Dear Esteemed Directors and Participants
We regret to inform you that the 2025 World Championships of Performing Arts has been
postponed due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.
The recent civil unrest in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. coupled with the military
deployment, Homeland Security's high alert for California to include cyber attacks as well as
violence (set to expire on September 22. 2025), and numerous travel warnings issued from
participating countries,. has made it impossible to ensure the safety and entry of all
participants. Furthermore., new restrictions on air travel over certain countries, bans of
countries entering the US and additional stipulations placed on embassies have added to
these concerns
Attached are some documents used to make the decision to postpone
The projected new date will be July 2026. When we have confirmed information. it will be
disseminated through National Directors. Your payments will be credited to the new event.
We understand this news is disappointing. and we sincerely wish there was an alternative
solution. This decision was made with the, utmost consideration for the well-being and security
of everyone involved.
