Art Competition – Hospital Superheroes

Inviting all local schools (and individuals!) to give this a go, the Friends of Eastbourne Hospital are running their 2024 Art Competition with the theme of Hospital Superheroes.

The entries are divided into two age categories:
1. Children in Reception, Years 1 and 2
2. Children in Years 3-6

With the theme of ‘Hospital Superheroes’, the winning artwork across all the two age categories will feature on the front cover of our July issue of Hospitality magazine, distributed across Eastbourne with a print-run of over 2000 copies!

There will be a further prize for both of the winners, and the winning schools will receive signed copies of books by children’s author and illustrator Nick Sharratt.

School representatives are invited to contact the office for further information and to discuss the submission of entries on 01323 749503 /esh-tr.friendsdgh@nhs.net

Maximum entries per school is 20 per age category

Deadline for submissions is Friday 5 April.
