This is because copyright laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and while as far as I know American and perhaps English law should be pretty reasonable here, continental systems and other systems with statutory regulation of copyrights and fair could easily create a problem (e.g. permission required even if no compensation due, or the opposite: compensation due even if permission not required). Now, no remotely reasonable person would go after the winners or other participants or even graders, but anybody associated with organising the contest or picking the source texts could be in trouble with the one or more of the jurisdictions potentially involved.
