Sorry, this honestly seems kind of shoddily done and lacks a lot of information. 
The "winners" don't even get a copy of said art book, nor does anyone know what you'll be doing with the copies of them.
Just sounds kind of like you're asking for free art and offering not that much in return; for example the grand prize will give you 50 devpoints from two people, which is about 60 cents in real money.  

It also says at the bottom that "Once I know the price I will be paying for each, I will post a journal with the prices." but you're the only one making a profit out of this art book filled with other peoples' art. 
Every zine/compilation project that I've been included in has been very gracious about making sure the artists are compensated, and clear about where the money will be going. 

I'd advise you to either rethink what you're doing with this, or stop trying to get people to give you free artwork with the slim promise of being featured in an art book.

It sounds like to me that you don't even really have the adequate funds to fully compensate the artist. Printing art books is pretty expensive, and I quote "I am asking for only 20 cents". So you're asking artists to pay you for prizes they might have a change to win? 

"The reason this was in place was I didn't want to promise what I couldn't give."
What does this mean? That you can't fund the art book in the first place?
but then you go on to say

"Actually, the winners do get a free copy along with all the judges."
I count what, nine or winners total, yet you're asking for at least 20 pieces of artwork? So nine people get a free copy of the artbook, while the other people who still get into the book get nothing? Why are the judges for sure getting artbooks when the artists are the ones who are creating the content?

"I explained that any profit made will go to making better prizes for future art book contests."
So basically you don't even get the benefits of this until you enter the next art contest, also you're still profiting for it, making an artbook isn't some kind of right, you're making money off of other peoples' work in order to fund your personal project. 

This artbook was poorly planned and even if you may not see it, really takes advantage of artists.

relaying this message on behalf of wozl

"Oh wow, personal attacks now? Very mature. and look, you blocked me too.

You said yourself that "Is there anything you feel I should clear up." so I brought up some fairly valid points quoting things that you yourself have said.
Yes, a lot of money goes into making and printing art books, but you are also asking artists to take their time to contribute THEIR work, which is also their time and money.

"How much do I have to compensate every single contestant,? because it sounds like I need a minimal of twenty mountains of pure gold."
The artists are basically giving you their artwork to sell, the least you can do is give every participating artist a free copy of the art book itself; I mean it's only fair if they're the ones providing the content right?
You've basically said that you'll be taking the money made from the art book in order to fund your next one, which doesn't benefit anyone but yourself.

"Also do you understand the extensive work I'll be doing for the art book? It's not exactly a simple one, two and slap the art on the page. This will take a VERY long time to put together a really nice art book."
Of course it's hard work, but you're the one who chose to put together an art book. If you don't have the funds for it and are even asking artists to donate money to you, then why put an art book together in the first place?
So other artists not only have to contribute art but they have to fund it too and POSSIBLY get a copy of the art book that their art is in?

"Why is it that I have never found a single person unhappy about the contest, until you?"
I've been part of quite a few art book projects and when I read over your journal it seemed like you were getting the most out of this while requesting too much from artists without proper compensation.
Every book project I've been part of has been very transparent with what they would be doing with the book/funds/planning. You have pretty much nothing to show for this art book, and you're asking artists for money and work without even the promise of receiving anything in return besides "exposure" and the possibility of getting some very cheap prizes.
If you're so keen on making an artbook, why not make one with the majority being your own work.

I'm personally just tired of artists getting screwed over by people like you, because they think doing free work is fine for just a tiny bit of exposure.
If you have any artistic integrity, I hope that you will think about what I've said and stop trying to justify what you're doing.

good day."
