I would always be a bit wary of companies asking for a fee for a "prize". It does say that you have won a "chance". Which means you haven't actually won anything yet. Was it Nick Uk running the competition? It may be a good idea to find the original OP (if it was a comp from this site) and read the full T&Cs.

It sounds as though you are paying a nominal sum to enter into a contract with them?

I dont think they are asking you for a fee.

I think the token fee due to you is £1 for Nick to have all rights.

I agree with 1984 ReturnsForReal, I think it's a fee that Nick pay you for the use of your childs face etc.

Hi krusty,
I think this is the comp that you may have won. Well done!

Definitely just a legal thing. The £1 doesn't actually ever exchange hands, well not normally. It's so you can't come back later and ask for a fee.
