Maybe this is technically a writing contest or something? I guess if there isn't a draw maybe that's allowed.

I would be concerned about the integrity involved in evaluating the responses to pick a winner. At least with a lottery or random draw anyone can win. This and any other similar scheme can essentially be elaborate scams where the winner will end up being a friend or someone else that is known to the owner. At least with draws and lotteries they are usually overseen by independent auditors and have clauses that limit the winners relationship.
