It should be optional, enough people are limelight hogs to handle the need for press oppertunities. The same kind of deal is waiting for winners of Publisher's Clearing House and other major contests, they have to be able to prove they gave the prize to someone other then their brother inlaw if you know what I mean it comes with the prize.
