A Christchurch amateur photographer was shocked to find a woman had won $1000 in a competition by using one of his images without permission.

By the time Peter Prue realised what had happened, she had spent the money on gift vouchers.

Prue's photograph of the New Brighton Pier during a thunderstorm was taken from The Press' Facebook page and entered in a competition run by the Westfield Riccarton shopping mall. The image won the We Heart Christchurch competition, and the woman who entered it was awarded $1000 in gift vouchers.

Prue learned about the competition win when the woman contacted him asking for the original file.

He said Westfield should take some of the blame for the incident.

"The terms and conditions in the competition were pretty pathetic.

"All they said was it had to be an original image.

"You didn't have to establish ownership and copyright."

He was not angry with the woman.

"I'm a Buddhist, so I don't get angry. I'm not angry with her. It is just one of those things," he said.
