if I submitted a document would I have to include all relevant maps and art?
Authors should include any maps that their submissions require. But they don't need to be fancy; just detailed enough to guide whichever artist does the final version. Authors don't need to include art, but they're welcome to send sketches of the characters (again, as a guide to whoever does the final art).

Jeff pretty much hits it on the head here. An author should include maps to their adventures, the final artist will re-render them if necessary; for example, Ken Cliffe has done some very nice maps. Character sketches are not required, but sometimes provide the final artist with good interpretations of the author's vision.
Artists wishing to draw for FGU can send a portfolio to the address for contact in the web site. If you have the chops, you may be contacted, regardless of previous published work experience.
Thanks.
PS, no shots were taken, but if you took it that way, sorry for the perception. MHG's guidelines are more strict, and they have their reasons, I'm sure, no sleight on them.
FGU is looking for other game material too (Aftermath and Space Opera I'd say off hand).
