Grow it. Win $5,000.

Anyone who lives in New Zealand and is growing Brothers Green Kompolti seeds this season. If the grower is under 18, a parent or guardian enters for them and manages the entry. A child's surname, face or social account is never required. One entry per grower.

No. Each grower enters one: Tallest plant or People's Choice. Pick the one that suits you when you enter.

Every People's Choice grower gets a public page. Anyone can vote for one grower by entering their email. One vote per person across the whole competition.

An email used to vote is used to record that vote. It only joins our mailing list if you tick the newsletter box when you vote.

For Tallest plant, you only need the final measure photos. For People's Choice, posting updates through the season is how you build a page worth voting for.

Notify MPI and NZ Police before you plant. It's two short emails, and we've written them for you. Winners will be asked to show they did this. Official guidance: MPI and NZ Police.

Entries are open now. Entries, final measures and voting all close at 11:59pm on 31 March 2027. Winners are announced in April 2027.

Employees of the promoter and their immediate families are not eligible.

4. To be eligible, your plant must be grown in New Zealand during the 2026–27 season from Brothers Green Kompolti seeds, and you must comply with all laws that apply to growing it, including notifying MPI and NZ Police before planting.
5. One entry per person, in one category only: Tallest plant or People's Choice. For Tallest plant, one plant per entry.

7. To be eligible for Tallest plant you must submit the final measure photos described on this page before the competition closes. The promoter may ask leading entrants for a continuous video, an independent check, proof of how they received their seeds, and proof that they notified MPI and NZ Police. An entrant who cannot provide these may be disqualified.
8. People's Choice is decided by public vote on this website. Each person may cast one vote, using their own email address. A voter may add their name and a short message; these are shown on the grower's page, and the promoter may decline or remove any message. The promoter may void any vote or entry it reasonably believes is fraudulent, automated, duplicated, paid for, or cast with an address that does not belong to the voter, and may check votes before prizes are paid.
9. In each category there are three prizes: NZ$5,000 for first, NZ$3,000 for second and NZ$2,000 for third. For Tallest plant these go to the three tallest verified plants. For People's Choice they go to the three eligible growers with the most valid votes. Prizes are paid by bank transfer to a New Zealand bank account in the winner's name and are not transferable.
