I can't say that I'm a big fan of anime or J-Pop, but I'd definitely check a contest like this out (and increase my exposure to the art form) if instrumental BGM from both televised shows and films were allowed.
There'll be a lot of J-Pop no matter what, of course--but allowing--or even encouraging--instrumental tracks might increase the appeal and bring new folks into the Animespot. Jam it back in, in the dark.

I still think that there shouldn't be any restrictions to OP/ED. In addition to pretty much eliminating any chance of finding some good instrumental music (which would be of prime interest to me), there are some other factors to consider.
Take a look at the BSC. There's a lot of relatively unkown stuff circulating there, often side-by side with more popular material. People are re-exposed to songs they're familiar with, yes, but also to new and obscure tunes. Restricting entrants to "recognizable" OP/ED would be like decreeing that only Squeenix music is eligible in the BSC. There's plenty of Squeenix anyway, despite no such rule (some of it very good), just as there'd be plenty of OP/ED in an anime contest, but to impose that limit seems like a bad idea. There's nowhere I can't reach.
