IANAL but instead could the WMF legal folks contact Facebook to ask them to make their terms compatible with CC-BY-SA and CC-BY licenses? I would rather have FB change then ask our users to change permissions. FB would gain commercially from the views of WM content on their site, meaning that FB has a commercial incentive to change that WMF Legal could mention when discussing the situation with FB.

Funny you mention that Tilman.
I was wondering last night if it might be possible to talk to the organizers of WLM/WLE about making that part of the finalist process for next year. So much more visibility for the winners!

As an aside, the organizers of another contest told me they explicitly request permission from all contestants to upload their submissions to Facebook, in order to determine winners by voting via "Likes" in FB photo albums: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/02/wiki-tour-chile-photo-contest/

I would really like to post some of the photos on social. Can we get permission from the photographers -- i.e., are the organizers in touch

them? I don't see any of the photos in the public domain, which is what
we
need unless we have permission.
