"prize-giving" activities
I have made up the example below.
(1) I ask John, "What's going on over there. There are so people." He replies, "I think there are some prize-giving activities for everyone. You can play the games for free. If you are lucky, you can win prizes."
My non-native English speaking friends think "prize-giving" is wrong because it means a ceremony in which prizes are awarded to people who have made excellent achievements. I agree with them. However, "prize-giving" could also mean giving people prizes for winning games at public events.
Am I really wrong? Thank you for your help.
