Asking artists to create new artwork for a competition in which the winner's prize is a job is almost always frowned upon. You're asking people to spend time making a new piece of artwork to win the chance to help you without any guarantee that they will even benefit from the time they put in. Since you are the one that needs the help, not the artists, you should probably just ask them to send you whatever existing artwork they have and you can decide from that. Though honestly if the artist is not going to receive payment for their work then you can't really be picky in this situation unless your game is very well known and a lot of artists have strong desires to work on it for no pay. The only way to achieve this would be to show us actual gameplay footage so any interested artists can decide if the project looks fun to work on as a hobby. Remember that creating art is a lot of work. Asking people to whip up some great artwork for your game that they know nothing about and without pay is probably not going to work out since there are a lot of people out there willing to pay artists for their work. Gather interest first with footage of your game and proof that it exists.
I hope this helped in some way. Good luck on your game.
