Jennifer Said:

does anyone know of any writing competitions, for a short story?

We Answered:

elizabeth, the most obvious 'competitions' are paying markets--and their contests never close.

Being realistic, any story good enough to win a competition is probably good enough to sell. Try Duotrope.com to identify markets for your work--and if it helps you make a sale, donate a little back to keep them afloat.
