Life-Changing Moments
Life-changing moments at WorldStrides are endless! Whether you went zip-lining through jungle canopy, saw the Washington Monument, or went swimming in Greece, we want to see what made your trip so special. Photo tip: try to include at least one person in your photo(s).
Besties 4 Life
Nothing beats traveling and learning about the world with your besties. We know you took photos of yourselves having fun, so let’s see them! Submit a photo of you and your classmates living it up. Photo tip: try to include the background in your shots so we can see where you are.
Best Teacher Ever
Each year, teachers go above and beyond to make sure their students get the education they deserve. Show some appreciation to your teacher for organizing your trip by taking a photo with them and writing a note about why they’re the best teacher ever. We’ll also showcase your photo onto our socials during Teacher Appreciation Week!
Video Categories
Trend Setter
From TikTok dances to funny moments to lip syncing, submit a 30-60 second video that uses your favorite recent trend. If you’re feeling bold, start your own trend and we’ll try to make it go viral!
Young Professors
Learning outside of the classroom teaches you more than a textbook ever could. What’s something you learned on your trip that you wouldn’t be able to learn from a textbook? This could include specific facts, something you learned about yourself, something you learned about the world, or something that was just fun to hear! Submit a 30-60 second video and teach us something new. Video tip: use the voice-over method and/or add captions accompanied by images of your trip.
Content Dump
If you took a million different photos and videos on your trip, here’s your chance to show them all off! Create a 30-60 second video montage to highlight the best part of your trip. Video tip: add your favorite catchy song as a soundtrack.
Grand Prize Category
Letter to my Past Self
Let’s face it, traveling to a new place can be scary. If you could go back in time and reassure your past self about your trip with WorldStrides, what would you say? Compose a brief letter to your pre-trip self that includes reassuring messages like what you’re going to learn about yourself, what new foods you’ll try, and new friends you’ll make.
The goal of your video should be to help future students feel excited about traveling outside of the classroom. Video tip: include quality images that match with what you’re talking about so we can see a visual of your experience!
