As long as the artwork is classified as public domain it should be fine. Just take care when using any artwork that is gathered on such sites does not actually infringe on other owner's IP. When using graphics from such sites, or purchasing it from other sites such as turbo squid or DAZ there should normally be some sort of written indication of it's license for use. This can help verify that you are safe to use it, much like that if you were to hire someone to make something custom for you or have a friend do it.

When all is said and done, as long as your game's graphics don't infringe on another IP without permission it is safe to use in this competition. This rule is to safe-guard us from legal action, as we think it's only fair.
