I suppose that depends on your definition of a competition. The Geograph is organised as a competition, http://www.geograph.org.uk/faq3.php#12 but the prizes are intangible - highest Geograph points and a position on the leaderboard. I don't think that Flickr or even Commons is organised as a competition in quite the same way. There may be a simple count of editors who've loaded most images, but that isn't a competition in the way that the Geograph is with its Geograph points for first image in a gridsquare etc.
