Renee O'Brien, Oliver Davidson and Sarah Latta were part of a 25-strong contingent from New Zealand, the Black Stars, who travelled the two-week international competition at the end of June. Ms Latta and Oliver Davidson are both first-year University of Otago performing arts students, while Ms O'Brien works and occasionally does solo singing gigs. Ms O'Brien took home three bronze medals for her singing in the open, gospel and self-written categories.
