@bunburya shared several open crowdsourcing projects.

I didn't know some of them, while others I knew only the name. Here I'd like to add that OpenFoodFacts has a couple of sister projects:

Open Pet Food Facts

Open Beauty Facts

And would also like to mention iNaturalist, where people can contribute observations of animals, plants, fungi, &c. Photos are shared under user-chosen terms, but they recommend using some CC licenses compatible with Wikimedia Commons.

I can't find now the "official documentation" regarding the recommended license but I found these related pages instead:
