Grow For It Awards
Have you got a brilliant idea to communicate the importance of native wild flowers and wild spaces in a creative way? Apply now for a Get Creative award. Or do you want to work with others to help transform a local space with native plants and wild flowers? Apply now for a Transform a Space award.
A panel of young people will be judging all entries. Grow Wild is working together with the Scottish Youth Parliament on all Scottish entries.
For the Get Creative Award, applications are open under two categories.
Visual art - to produce a large piece of art to be displayed outdoors. It can have a three-dimensional element, though we must be able to hang the artwork flat on a wall.
Audio/performance – to produce a piece of music, dance or spoken word to a performance standard.
Winning applicants will receive £500 to produce their creative artwork or to record their audio performance, plus the chance to exhibit or perform it outdoors at a high profile UK summer event.
Entries for this competition are invited under two age categories:
- under 18s (for age 12 to 17)
- over 18s (for age 18 to 25)

Transform a Space Award
Do you have a brilliant idea for transforming a communal space near you? Do you want to get together with others for some wild sowing and planting action? Young people aged 12 to 25 can apply for a £500 Transform a Space award.
We’re looking for project ideas that raise awareness about the importance of native wild flowers and plants and their diverse habitats. Your project can involve more than sowing and growing – as long as it communicates a message about UK native wild flowers and wild spaces in a creative way. Think wild, innovative and eye catching!
Click here to view our simple application form and guidance notes. The deadline for entries is 22 February 2016.
To ask a question or discuss your project idea please email: growforit@growwilduk.com or telephone 020 8332 5445 / 5444.
