Hmm... I'm pleased with the enthusiastic response, but only a total of three people have said that they'd actually participate actively in it, rather than just spectate. I was hoping for at least half-a-dozen potential contestants.

That's a good idea about the anonymous voting, Syd, but as you said, it could be easily rigged. Besides, each of the major artists has his or her (mostly her) own style... I bet most people here could easily identify, say, one of Alector's or Teal's drawings. I was thinking that people could PM or email me their entries, and I'd judge them neutrally, because I can do that when the need arises. However, people could if they wanted to post their work in progress, but that'd be up to them; they might decide not to for fear of others changing their own work to try and better it.
