Sunflowers in Kindergartens Measurement and Photo Guidelines
We’ve put together guidelines to help you measure and photograph your tallest plant and widest flower correctly for your final submission. Your photos must show the Daltons measuring tape verifying the measurement you are submitting. Please also send a copy of your growth tracking chart.
Measuring your Tallest Sunflower (each region)
Measurements are to be taken from the bottom of the plant (ground) to the base of the sunflower head or green bud, using the Daltons measuring tape.
Entrants must provide photos showing the plant in its entirety: from the ground to the top of the planting one photo and a close-up photo of the measurement taken alongside the plant head. Follow these image examples.
Measuring your Sunflower Head Width (each region)
Measurements should be the width (taken from left to right) across the sunflower bloom "face" only and must not include the petals. Entrants must provide a photo of this using the Daltons measuring tape. Follow this image example.
Best Photo Submission
Please ensure you submit some photos for the Best Photo Award. Ideally, they will be of children with sunflower blooms or in their sunflower gardens. Here are examples of previous year's winning shots.
Note: Ensure any photos of children you submit have parental approval and provide their name and age please.
