if the T&C's stated that the winner may be required to take part in publicity, then the only way to avoid it is to forfeit your prize.

Always a good idea to read the terms and conditions.

We have done some media already a couple of radio interviews but they want it in papers now

I have to do this tomorrow where they just want to use my name - no mention of pictures which is good for the public but they might get a quote or 2.

Depends on how much publicity they want and what the prize was

^^This. If it states it and you want to keep it then you have to do it. However, I do think it is meant to be 'within reason'.

As you have already done a few radio interviews you could either go back to them and say you feel like you have done enough and you're not comfortable with going on tv/newspapers and see what they say?

You could maybe ask that you'd prefer if they don't include your photo, but don't mind doing an interview?

That's what I wanted to know, must have been something decent, but the op didn't specify what the prize was so I assumed they didn't want people to know (maybe because of the media route and it would be easier to work out who the op is)
