Wow!! Contest!! Ur question reminds me of my school and college days when I used to participate in different debates, declamation contests, poetical recitation contests, folk song contests and many others also. How happy one feels after winning a prize in the contest!!! He gets a pat on his back from seniors, teachers, elders and for his excellent performance in the contest. Really those were the golden days and enjoyable too. Internet was not available at my time. So no question of participating in online contests. These days Internet is not only a rich source of information but also an excellent platform for various contests. Out of those contests, ‘Short Story Contests’ hold a good place. Below are some links of some websites which will certainly prove helpful to u in participating Short Story Contests. Ur specific requirement can also be met if these are surfed thoroughly and consciously. So get ready to cheer up urself and ur family members when u bring a smile on everybody’s face after winning accolades and prizes.

Writers Digest is a good place to start. They have a website and it's a great resource for all with contests and inspirational ideas. In fact, they are running a short story contest right now.

There's actually a poetry publisher out of Oregon called Story Line Press. They have a "competition" of sorts for poets. You must be a nonpublished poet. There are several other companies of this type but I can't remember them at this time. Check out small nonprofit publishers, but don't just send your work in with out checking if they accept unsoliceted work. You'll get on a lot of people's bad sides really quick.

Get thee to your local bookstore and grab a copy of Poets & Writers magazine. They list loads and loads of them there.
