SCHOOLCHILDREN in York who took part in a sunflower competition for a national charity are being urged to send in their entries.

The charity behind the competition, bibic, is reminding youngsters in the city who took part in the growing competition to submit their entries before September 30 to be in with a chance of winning. Carla Bloomfield, fundraising team member at bibic, which helps children and young people with conditions affecting their social, communication and learning abilities, said:

“Earlier this year we teamed up with online garden centre, potterandrest.co.uk and asked children aged up to 16-years-old to enter a competition to grow the sunflower with the fattest face. “We would now like youngsters to measure their sunflower across the middle of its face, excluding petals, take a photo of their sunflower and complete the entry form, which can be downloaded via http://bit.ly/1nIzzKp.”

All entries must be submitted by email before midnight on September 30, 2014, to hello@potterandrest.co.uk

Five regional winners will each receive a £10 Potter & Rest voucher and a certificate.

The national winner will receive a certificate and a £50 Potter & Rest voucher. The overall winner’s school will also be presented with a £50 Potter & Rest voucher.

The winners will be announced by bibic in October.
