Thanks to Waitomo, this summer you get paid in Moolah to say “Why Not.”

Do your boldest, funniest, most unhinged Why Not moment and you could walk away with free fuel, epic prizes and your face in Waitomo’s Summer Anthem music video.

Here’s how it works:
Get out there and do your big Why Not moment. Film it. Send it in.
Just for taking part, you’ll score $5 free Moolah (fuel).

Make it into the music video and you’ll win a share of $26,000 worth of fuel.

And that’s not all. One lucky legend featured in the anthem will also go in the draw to win one of five epic Why Not Summer adventures.

Your summer. Your moment.
Why not get rewarded for it?

Congratulations to Anthony Lineham #107 who has won $200 of fuel thanks to Waitomo and The Rock radio station.

On news of winning Anthony had this to say. "I'm stoked to win the Waitomo Fuel prize. Thank you so much! Just the thing heading into the holiday season! The 2025 Waitomo Triathlon Festival was another superb event organized by John and his team. So cool to be amongst a whole range of athletes giving their best on this fantastic course that somehow manages to be both accessible and challenging at the same time. Big thanks to Waitomo for sponsoring the event this year as I know these things can't happen without this kind of generous support".
