When you enter a photo into a contest, you are required to give them the okay to use that photo for commercial purposes. That is where the commercialization comes into play. Once the photo is entered, it can be used by them for whatever purposes they see fit. This may not be true to all contests, but for a vast majority it is. This is just my understanding of what I've read & heard.
