There are a few resources that you should know about. Classical Singer magazine lists auditions and competitions. Bulletin boards at most music schools have postings about competitions. The Opera America Career Guide has a wonderful list of competitions.
The most important thing -- and it's not something you can get from the internet -- is the knowledge of which competitions are appropriate to your level of accomplishment. Singing in a competition where you are out of your depth can be discouraging and can make you look less profesional than you want to look. Your teacher can and should help you figure out where to start.
