Voting will take place between 28 August and 14 September via SMS at a cost of R30 per SMS.

Families, friends and colleagues of entrants are encouraged to vote.

Voting is unlimited and the photograph with the most votes from each category, will determine the winners, which will be announced on Thursday, 17 September 2020.

Funds raised from the event will go toward recruiting blood stem cell donors, giving greater hope of life to patients who are diagnosed with life-threatening blood disorders, like leukaemia, and those who are in need of a blood stem cell transplant from a matching unrelated donor.

Help The Sunflower Fund save lives by participating in the competition.
