I agree. We're working on making Commons easier to use, but it probably won't be ready for your project. As an alternative to Flickr or Facebook, you might also want to get in touch with Ryan Kaldari and see if his photo tool can be used for this purpose. Ryan developed a photo submission tool specifically for photo scavenger hunts: http://toolserver.org/~kaldari/contests/ I don't know if it's sufficiently complete yet.
