Win a visit from the tallest man in the world to your school!

Prizes don’t come much bigger than this!

To celebrate the launch of GWR Schools, we’re offering one lucky UK school the chance to be paid a visit from Sultan Kösen, the world’s tallest man.

Sultan Kösen the tallest man in the world

We’ll also be sending along Guinness World Records officials to adjudicate a series of world record breaking challenges.

Sultan, a part-time farmer from Turkey, measures an incredible 251 cm (8 ft 3 in) and was the first man over 8ft to be measured by Guinness World Record in over 20 years.

He also has the distinction of holding the record for widest hand span.

In order to be in with a chance of winning what’s sure to be an unforgettable day for both pupils and teachers alike, you’ll need to register with Discover Guinness World Records.

Developed in association with educational professionals, GWR Schools is a series of curriculum-linked activities, lesson plans, and presentations inspired by the fantastic array of amazing records in the Guinness World Records 2012 book.
