I found that I spent way too much time deciding what to do for some of the challenges rather than just getting to the job of doing it. It felt like being back in design studio again, and I don't exactly say that with fondness. A good deal of our job as illustrators is to bring someone's design to life, so having a challenge that is perhaps more rigid would allow competitors to get right to the task of illustrating rather than spending so much time making design or content decisions. So, by "designated spaces" I guess I'm talking about something like supplying a set of drawings to a particular building or space and letting the competitors go to it.

You've got lots of other things to offer to potential judges: publicized profiles/interviews, advertising, etc. Maybe compensation isn't needed, but it's something to consider.
