Sorry to say that, but if contest's rules say you need to provide an e-mail to participate, you have to disqualify that user if she did not provide an e-mail. I know you may think it is very sad to be disqualified because of an e-mail address but: * First, bad consequences are well explained in Platonides'answer. * Second, rules are rules, and they are all equal. If we make an exception for this I don't see why we couldn't make an exception for photos of monuments not in the lists or photos uploaded 1 minute past the deadline of the contest (or, more realistically, the case where multiple photos where uploaded and some of them resulted uploaded after the deadline of the contest).
