All prizes would be lawfull within shariah p.s there is no other fee involved.
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
If there are no monetary charges for entering the competition via e-mail and the sponsors of the competition are merely gifting away certain prizes, it will be permissible to enter such a competition.
And Allah knows best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
