I don't understand what's so country-specific in a template. AFAIK MS Office does not ship different templates in the US and in Europe. Cannot templates be made mostly country-neutral if contributors are asked to avoid adding too nationally-rooted details?
Of course text must be translated (if present), but this can be done like GUI labels. If the contest is only for en_US, then most locales won't get any templates at all, which is worse than getting an English template. So better start with the idea that templates will have to be translated.
