Hi, let's simplify this discussion, and assume that there just happens to be a situation where images are allowed on a specific wiki, but not on commons - the question is, should they be eligable to the contest. (I think the exact discussion about the copyright status is a bit too complicated to have right here right now - but is of course an important one to answer).
I think such a discussion is crucial - I mean if the local Wikipedia community decided to allow upload of pictures which are... say.. "barely legal" my suggestion would be not to accept them for competition, just because we cannot encourge potential copyright violation habbits. But if they are perfectly legal in country of origin - why not?
If they are perfectly legal in the country of origin, they are allowed on commons. So I think the criteria 'allowed on commons' is an easy and clear rule.
