Hailsham Pavilion’s 100th anniversary: 13-year-old wins poster competition

A 13-year-old has won a competition after residents submitted poster designs in honour of Hailsham Pavilion’s 100th birthday.

Evie Williams was unanimously selected by a panel of judges led by Julie Skinner, chair of Hailsham Old Pavilion Society (HOPS).

The panel also included chair of the board of Hailsham Pavilion Gareth Jones and previous chair Sue Knight.

A spokesperson from the pavilion, which turned 100 in 2021, said, “Evie was very excited to have won when she came to the pavilion to accept her cash prize and to see her poster after it had been professionally printed.”

Details about the competition, which was held by HOPS, were passed on through the media and to local schools.

The pavilion said this led to many ‘fine’ submissions.

Evie’s winning poster is on display in the cinema’s foyer.
