VICTA Science Fair 2021

Take part in the 2024 VICTA Sunflower Race!

Sorry, applications for sunflower packs have now closed.

  • Who: 0 to 17 years
  • Closing date for applications: Tuesday 9 April 2024

It’s officially Spring and the perfect time to start planting! You can now apply for your sunflower planting kit which includes sunflower seeds and marker cards to help you track your flower’s progress. We love seeing how tall your sunflowers grow and the fun you have planting them.

Every child who shares a photo of their flower with us for our gallery will receive a certificate and a little treat from us once the race finishes on 30 June 2024. Every time you share a photo you will also gain an entry into our big prize draw to win a £25 Argos voucher. Once you have your pack, we will send you the link where you can upload your photos.

There is an added bonus to taking part! Planting your sunflowers will count towards one of the activities in the nature section of the VICTA Young Achievers Award. You can find out more about the award here: victastudents.org.uk/young-achievers-award
