I think this is one instance where the WMF Legal should act on behalf of
the all the photographers rather than leave it to individuals who may not
have the ability to hire someone. This would set a very clear precedent
about sch activities from images Donated to WMF projects, WMF, WLM team,
and the wider community have moral obligation to ensure that the rights of
those that contributed to the competition are respected.

There has never been a lawsuit for inappropriate
reuse of cc media, has
there?
Several.
Does anyone even know of a case of a copyright
holder getting paid
without a lawsuit in such a case?
Sure. It's easier for works released with a non-commercial license and
used for blatantly commercial purposes, of course.
