Answer 1

Are you looking for a place to publish, or for a contest? I will try and address both.

"Writer's Market" lists a lot of contests, along with magazines, journals, publishers, and agents. They are the best resource to find places to submit your poems. Your local library should have a copy in the reference section for you to take a look at! Do not submit your poems to poetry.com because they are a scam-- they will print ANYTHING so long as you can pay for it. That's not a contest or a publishing deal.

Check out Preditors and Editors to help research the legitimacy of any contests you find:

To see your poems published, you will want to research journals and magazines that publish in the same genre as the poetry-- really look for things that print similar works. Check "Writer's Market" again and look for magazines or journals that print similar works. Then, head down to your local public library and see if you can track down copies. Make sure it is appropriate or it will be a waste of time and postage to submit.

Each publisher has different submission guidelines, so make sure to research the specifics. Oftentimes, they are now on the web so it's much easier. Most only want you to submit three to five poems in each submission package, and they generally have length guidelines as well.

Do not submit the poems to multiple publications simultaneously unless you specify it in your cover letter and you are sure that the particular publishers accept simultaneous submissions.

For formatting the poems and manuscript, see if you can locate a copy of "Formatting & Submitting Your Manuscript" (which is actually published by the folks at Writer's Market). It's my favorite reference for all sorts of literary queries.

It could take a long time, and be prepared for multiple rejections. But, if you are persistant, you will find homes for your poems.

Answer 2

Use google and search for these kind of things.
