Yes. There's a Power Point on my website for a talk I have done a couple 
of times about 160M antennas on lots of modest size. Nothing original, 
but rather a summary of excellent work by others.

Anything that you load end-fed for 160M needs some sort of radials or 
counterpoise.  That's discussed in the Power Point.

Also, to be REALLY competitive, you need RX antennas. Probably more than 
you have time for between now and ARRL 160, but maybe for the Stew, 
which is a better contest anyway.
