Twitter doesnt handle pictures. Only text.

Let the users tweet normally with a particular hashtag say #contest4xv
Use search API to get all tweets tagged with this hashtag.
Parse the tweet to get the "twitpic.com/" url. example http://twitpic.com/3705ya
Use standard HTTP client library to parse the url and grab the image
to your own database.
