The Mayor of Eastbourne is inviting people of all ages to showcase their stunning images of the town, from all perspectives, in her Charity Photo Competition 2025.

The theme of this year's competition, ‘My Eastbourne’, offers a broad canvas for interpretation, from beautiful coastal vistas to vibrant parks and gardens, diverse wildlife, impressive architecture, or the people who make Eastbourne special.

Councillor Candy Vaughan, the Mayor of Eastbourne, said: "I am thrilled to launch this competition. There are so many different aspects to this beautiful town of ours, I can’t wait to see how people capture the spirit of Eastbourne through their photography.

“This competition is not only a celebration of our town but also a wonderful opportunity to support my two chosen charities of the year - Leaf Hall Disability Access Fund which aims to provide full disabled access to all parts of its centre and The Chaseley Trust, which supports people with neurodisabilities.”
