How do they chose illustrators for new character designs or for CEs?

Some of FGO's artists are well-estabilished illustrators (famous on pixiv, twitter or even as mangaka), while others were rather unknown before their debut in Fate. Are there contests for character design in Japan or do they chose randomly pixiv/twitter accounts with nice pictures?
