PLEASE be careful with those online competitions/contests... many are only fishing for suckers to enter, relinquish their rights and a few prizes are given away to satisfy the legality issues that might arise. Part of the "entry" rules include surrendering your rights to copyrights, and they keep the rights to "use" as necessary. This is a good way to get free work from very talented amateurs and semi-pros! They sometimes make more money by actually demanding a "entry" fee or "processing"... they make money off of you one way or another! All the useable photos are then sold to stock companies where they make a few hundred thousand dollars while giving away a few hundred dollars. It's quite a gimmick. Go figure!
Here's an example of how they get you to surrender your copyrights:
For All Entries: Sponsor shall have the right to edit, adapt, and publish any or all of the photos submitted, and may use them in any media without attribution or compensation to the contestant, his or her successors or assigns, or any other entity. SUBMISSION OF AN ENTRY IN THIS CONTEST CONSTITUTES ENTRANT'S IRREVOCABLE ASSIGNMENT, CONVEYANCE, AND TRANSFERENCE TO SPONSOR OF ALL RIGHT, TITLE, AND INTEREST IN THE ENTRY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL COPYRIGHTS. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected or postage-due requests, which are void. In addition, by entering, contestants represent and warrant that the entries that they submit:
I'm NOT suggesting that ALL online contests, competitions/contests are crooked...! Kodak has a few photo contests, so does Nikon and I believe Canon might but I'm not sure. Deal with established companies and be aware that there are dishonest people in this world!

An SD card is just the most common storage method used with cameras these days. All it's doing is holding the files that are your pictures. You can copy those files to other places (and indeed you should regularly, as otherwise you might lose valuable shots if your camera is lost or damaged). If you go to Boots, Jessops, etc, you can plug in most portable media to their print booths - CD, SD, USB stick, etc. So you need to get your photos onto your computer, edit them to your satisfaction, then take a copy of them down to the shops (or do it online by upload). The reason A4 prints have been specified is that it's quite hard to judge image quality on screen - it has a fairly low resolution (dots per inch) compared to a good print. And anything much smaller than A4 won't reveal much detail in the photo.

Try the worth 100 comps. Not really financially rewarding, by tecnically challenging. And it get trolled by talent scouts!
