You might want to check in with the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Their _Bulletin_, parts of which seem to be available online, may be useful to you. I notice that the July-August 2003 issue, for example, lists a number of writing competitions. See
http://www.scbwi.org/pubs.htm . And good luck!
