It depends upon what the contest is.
Is it a themed contest, with the theme being 'leaves'? Then they are appropriate.
The third one is more interesting, even if done many times before, but the composition is not good. A 50/50 split of the frame is a common error. Crop the bottom off.
Maybe you should take new ones. I can't tell because I don't know what the contest is all about.
Here, borrow this one:

if you dare!
The link may look truncated but it will work OK.

The first one is really good, but a very common shot. The 3rd one is defiantly the best. You may think about tilting your camera at an angle so that the leaf in the 3rd pic is running at about a 45 degree angle either left or right. The other thing that may improve the composition in the 3rd shot, is framing the leaf either higher or lower in the frame. Or maybe shooting the leaf from a 45 degree angle from the end of the leaf to the stem. Very nice shot though! Good job.

While all three are nice attempts, poor focus and poor exposure will not win any contests for you. I'm sure this is not what you want to hear and you'll pick gushing praise for your best answer, but if you truly wish to do well in photography you'll listen to the constructive criticism on this board and strive to improve. You have a good eye, you just need to learn the technical aspects.

The first is slightly out of focus and a little washed-out.
The second is also slightly out of focus.
The third has an almost blown-out center, which is, I assume, where the focal point is supposed to be.
A good tripod will improve your close-up/macro photography.

I like the first one because the leaf looks cool, but the water on the third is awesome! Tough decision!

The 3rd one is definately the best. No need for any other photos, you will most likely win the contest with this photo.

the last one is definatley the most abstract. Its diffrent. First one is good with the "dew" and all, but very generic. The second...meh, good color, but nothing wow about it. Last one has contrast and a diffrent view of the "leaf with dew" theme.

The third one. Different angle. Interesting.

I like the first one the best. Or the 2nd one. Actually... go with the 2nd one, the low f-stop makes it look more dramatic.
