Stephen Holt from the BID said, “The plan is that on Christmas Eve someone will win the “Best Ever Year in Eastbourne” and be able to attend all the major tourism events, as well as a fabulous selection of prizes.
“Two runners up will also receive £100 worth of shopping vouchers from the Enterprise Centre.
“The purpose of this is to encourage spending in our town centre. Both national chains and local independents are important to a successful, healthy, high street. This year, more than ever it is vital that we support our town centre.”
