I actually entered and won a simialr contest when MHFU was coming out (it was to design a monster then, not a weapon). All I submitted was a hand-drawn piture, but the other two winners put some serious effort into it and make detailed multi-views with some image editing software. So go as detailed as you're comfortable with, in the past they didn't show any pregidous to one type of media over another.
