Ds1 won two heats of the WWT photography competition. They had a separate heat for each season of the year and for each centre, and he was in the under-18s category so I realise there would have been a few winners and it's not like he's been chosen as photographer of the year or something.
But the prize for winning a heat is, according to the rules, a photography workshop worth £120 run by a company called Wild Arena. I have requested him a day off school to go on this workshop next week and I now find that it is a 2.5h session in the afternoon consisting of an hour's presentation and a question and answer session and a critique of the competitors' work. There isn't even an opportunity to leave the visitor centre and try and take some photos outside. Wild Arena are advertising a similar workshop the same morning, only with an outside session, and that costs £29, so I know that it's not worth anything near £120. Of course it's a prize and probably he should be grateful for what he's got, but he was really looking forward to this and now it really feels like he and the other winners are just being fobbed off with the absolute bare minimum. AIBU?
