$20,000 prize

I saw this headline:

Tobias Wolff Wins $20,000 Story Prize

and then this video screencap:

And my first thought was 1. Included in this amazing $20,000 prize was the privilege of sitting on stage with John Darnielle! My second thought was 2. Or maybe sitting on stage with John Darnielle WAS the prize! Valued at $20,000! Third thought, overlapping: 3a. How would you value a thing like that? Maybe they asked Tobias Wolff for an estimate?/3b. Best prize ever!

Anyway, turns out none of it is related at all, the prize and the sitting on stage. Oh well.

Congratulations still deserved, Mr. Wolff.
