This is a contest, so it's important to have a level playing field for
all the participants: draw the line before it starts (define a list, a
criteria or such) and accept for the contest only what's in.
Otherwise, some people will (rightfully) be disappointed.

yup. That's what we did, we said there are 26K plus monuments you can upload for that are listed, and anything outside of that won't be considered.

Give the Tomb the monument ID for Pasargadae, since it is a part of
it, a detail For example, if you have a house which is a monument, a
photo with a detail from it (a door, a window or such) will get the ID
for the whole house, is the same thing as with your case.

Makes sense. I'll do that.
