According to the rules, a user without email cannot
participate, but before
we ignore his winning, any idea or help tracking and contact him?

I find that approach poses a problem if they don't appear, since you are
publishing them as winners, then retreating.
We had several ineligible pictures preselected, but luckily none of them
reached the top positions.
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).
