GardenAdvice is excited to announce our Young Gardeners Sunflower Competition, a chance for budding artists under 16  to express their love for these beautiful blooms through drawing, painting, or photography.

What Is the Sunflower Art Competition All About

Sunflowers are known for their vibrant colour and towering presence in gardens around the world. They symbolise joy, warmth, and positivity—qualities we want to see reflected in your artwork! This competition isn’t just about gardening; it’s about celebrating the beauty of sunflowers through your unique artistic perspective. Whether you’re inspired by their bold, golden petals or their tall, sturdy stems, we want to see how sunflowers inspire you!

How to Participate

Decide how you want to capture the essence of sunflowers. You can draw, paint, or take a photograph. There are no restrictions on style or technique, so let your imagination run wild!

Step 2: Get Creative

Spend some time observing sunflowers, whether in your garden, a local park, or even online. Think about what makes them special to you and how you can express that through your chosen medium. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different angles, colours, and techniques to bring your sunflower vision to life.

Step 3: Submit Your Entry

Once you’ve completed your masterpiece, it’s time to share it with us!
