Sticker competition open

BUDDING young artists are invited to get creative and celebrate the 20th anniversary of Open Farm Sunday (OFS) by taking part in an exciting new sticker competition. Under 18s are encouraged to design a sticker inspired by the theme of ‘farming with nature’. The winning designs will be turned into official OFS stickers and showcased at hundreds of events across the country when farms open their gates to the public on 7 June. Entrants can let their imagination run wild to show what farming with nature means to them. From wriggly earthworms who keep soils healthy; insect pollinators; cattle grazing and providing natural fertiliser; to carefully managed hedgerows, woodlands and wildflower meadows busting with biodiversity – farmer’s support the natural world while feeding us every day. For more information about how to take part and to download the design template, visit www.farmsunday.org/competition Then use crayons, paints, pens or collage for the design, which must be flat so it can be reproduced as printed stickers. Only one entry permitted per person. Entries must be submitted by 11:59pm on 6 April 2026 either by email to: [email protected] or by post to: LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming), Avenue J, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, CV8 2LG. Winners will be announced on or before 26 April and get their designs printed as official stickers and receive a personalised notebook featuring their design.
