I'm curious as to why you're team is not willing to go the ethical route and hire one of the many talented graphics designer on this forum.
I'm sure one of the many talented graphics designers on this forum will see this as an opportunity to showcase themselves and receive free exposure and also a great chance of also getting paid for their work.
We also get an opportunity for free exposure of our projects.
This is mutually beneficial, the way the free market operates, and I think you are somewhat narrow minded to imply this is "unethical".
If you would like to submit your work, it would be gratefully received, as will all submissions.
I greatly appreciate your wishes to provide exposure for the many graphics design talent here on this forum. However, exposure does not cover bills and is not mutually beneficial for any of the graphics design talent that does not win your contest.
And while I agree, your projects will get exposure, a no-spec contest does not inspire positive exposure as much as you'd think it does.
If you haven't noticed already, I am extremely against no-spec design contests, however, this is something you can totally do. And it is in your right to do whatever you want.
However, as usual, I will urge any potential graphics designer to consider the fact that joining this or any other no-spec contest is extremely toxic for our trade. And in actuality damages and devalues the digital art trade.
