I am also a photojunkie and Im 15. I like to upload my pictures to a website called worth1000.com, It only costs points to enter pictures and you win points for more entries, which is convenient if you do not have a credit card. Also the competitions are subjective so it gives you an idea of what you should be shooting. The community on the website is very friendly and helpful. Hope this helps

Here is a list of current photo contests that may interest you:

United Nations Development Program

dpchallenge It's not prestigious but it's good practice.

Oh and a quick note on contests, there are thousands of contests both online and in magazine classified ads but very few are credible and imo the juried contests with an entrance fee are nothing but scams. All of the links above are free to enter and are mostly reputable such that there would be some real prestige or value to having them select your images.

So, with that said, get out there and shoot!
