Is it a given they would have won? Who were the winners and what did their work look like? Even with the best of intentions they would have to (a) re-register the entry, (b) redo the competition or review against current winner. And then possibly (maybe!) judge it to be superior to the current winner and then open that can of worm, or not.

As a good example of a similar precedent, look at this entry from 1994: https://web.archive.org/web/20200214094614/http://www0.us.ioccc.org/1994/smr.hint https://web.archive.org/web/20200214094614/http://www0.us.io...
