There is no harm in organizing beneficial competitions that do not involve a prize. However, if they do involve a prize (awards), the preponderant opinion is that it is permissible, provided that the prizes are offered by a donor with the aim of motivating participants to learn. The religion can be aided by supporting Islam through righteousness and reform.
