quite a sizeable prize on top of the actual trip itself
Critic’s Choice Award
Chosen by an official MOFILM panel, the Critic's Choice Award is given to the film that stands out above the rest in creative brilliance and execution.

There you'll have your film screened alongside the MOFILM brand winner at the official MOFILM ceremony. The director will also receive the kit worth over £1300, including a HD camera, audio equipment, editing gear and a tripod.

Small claims court
Technically you should be able to take that to small claims as it's under the limit...
It'll only cost you £30 / £50 if you do it yourself. Doing a bit of homework on the net should get you the info on what to sue her for.
But I agree, it's your idea, your work and she's got the profit. You should be entitled to at the least the monetary value of the prize, and possibily some compensation as she's had all that promotion of her "talents" too.
Shame we couldn't muster up the cash between us to take her to court properly. They go on and on about internet piracy and this is no different.
