The whole event was about recycling textiles, and from what I can make out it was clear what the prize was. Shouldn't have entered if she didn't want it imo.

Quote from the winner
"I thought a mannequin was a bit of a strange prize to start off with but then to give it away with second-hand clothing was even stranger."
If she thought it was strange then why the hell did she enter? Each to their own but I can't see many of us on here entering to win a mannequin.

A woman who won a council recycling competition said: "If they were going to give me clothes you expect it to be new clothes and I found it very surprising for East Riding Council to give away second-hand clothing....You have to wonder if the lights are on with some people, its a recycling competition and she thinks the should have got new clothes!? *bangs head against wall*

I haven't clicked on this article, but in another one I saw the mannequin with the prize clothes hanging on it and it was clear that that was the prize. Also in the other article I read, the Council said it offered to take back the prize, but she said she would keep it. Why you may wonder? To sell her story to the gullible press maybe?

A brand new mannequin is expensive, according to my purse, so I'm sure many people would buy a second-hand one if needed.
