So what? Other groups -- CentOS and Ubuntu come to mind -- do
that. Competition is not bad; it can be very fun. And if you
(permanently) place the contenders' artwork somewhere online, they
will all get something back. They will be able to say -- and show --
they were in this contest. That is really the best you can do for all
participants IMHO.

Get the community involved too while you were at it.

And this is why I suggested a permanent location for all the
entries. Each volunteer would then be able to link it to, say,
openssl.org/artwork/competition/2014/, and say "hey, I was there! I
did that"

Going back to what I mentioned earlier, I *think* (scary verb
this is) most of the artwork used in, say, ubuntu is all donated by
the community down to icons and wallpapers.
