The Box Sunflower Competition

We're giving away an Olafur Eliasson Little Sun lamp to the tallest sunflower grown outside and the tallest grown inside from the seeds given from our Easter holiday workshops.

They're beautifully designed, high-quality solar-powered LED lamps that are great for kids. These lamps support a global mission: every purchase helps bring clean, affordable light to communities without reliable electricity. They're waterproof and durable, with a sun-inspired design and provide up to 5 hours of bright LED light.

How to enter The Box Sunflower competition.

• The entries are open to households who were given sunflower seeds at our ‘Family Fun: Bloom and Grow’ workshops between Tuesday 8 – Thursday 17 April 2025.
• One entry per household. If you have grown more than one sunflower from the seeds you were given, please pick the tallest!
• The competition consists of 2 categories: sunflowers grown outside and sunflowers grown inside.
• Once your sunflower is either in full flower (and won’t grow any more in height) or on Tuesday 19 August, please take a measurement from the bottom of the plant (soil level) to the very top of the tallest flower petal using a measuring tape. See the photo example.
• Entrants must provide two photographs with their entry. One showing the plant in its entirety (from the ground to the top of the tallest flower petal) and one close-up photograph of the measurement taken alongside the plant head. See the photo examples.
