    Its all part of comping if you agreed to the t&cs and it says it in there than thats it:) I won some cash from one of the mag comps earlier this year and they called and emailed me for a pic at least 4 times I wasnt keen but sent them one anyway and they never used it:rotfl:not sure what that says about me;)
    :rotfl: Pick Me Up (Or was it Take a break?!) asked me to send a photo in with the declaration form when I won £750, so I had hoik one out where I didn't look too scary- or so I thought, don't think they used it :o, (Don't buy the mag!) but my name, which isn't that common, & town was printed in the mag.
    Also when I won a Heart comp, they took pics of me with Phil Vickery which were on their website, without my name.
    I don't see it as unpaid promotional publicity tho', not if you're getting a fab prize!
    Worse things will have happened in the world today...
