Music mindfulness company launches sunflower growing competition

Music and mindfulness company quietnote are running a sunflower growing competition to give participants the chance to win a subscription to their mental health and wellbeing platform.

Quietnote have launched the competition in support of Mental Health Awareness week (9-15 May).

By participating in this fun and mindful competition, people will have the chance to win access to mental health and wellbeing resources including a year 's subscription to quietnote, as well as a music and mindfulness class for them and their friends or work colleagues.

The idea is that the process of growing the sunflowers will teach three valuable lessons of patience, observation and time away from our phones, all of which have a positive impact on our mental health and overall wellbeing.

The rules to enter are as follows:

• Plant and care for a sunflower over the summer
• Take photos of your journey and upload it to social media, making sure to tag @quietnote in any photos
• When your sunflower stops growing, record the height and send it in by tagging us in your photo
• The tallest sunflower received will be the winner

Will Crawford (pictured), founder and creative director of quietnote and committee member for the Future Faces Chamber of Commerce, said: “Of course, it 's not really about the competition side of things but helping us to learn some fundamental mindfulness lessons through the joys of sunflowers.

“Whilst your sunflowers grow, we will be sharing easy to grasp mindfulness and music techniques for you to practise at home. ”
