Joanna Smith, Events and Promotions Manager for Hastings City Marketing says: “We are certainly aware of the time and cost involved in producing the amazing garments that were on show last year and decided that the prize money needed to be increased. We wanted to align ourselves with other similar competitions around the country and hope that the fantastic prizes will encourage more people to take part this year. Last year’s were amazing, the detail was incredible and we cannot wait to see what will be on show this year – it is sure to be a cracker!”
