I have a list of online resources for writers on the Student Section for A Writer's Craft that I hope you'll check out. Here, I plan to add more resources that I learn about. Others may add their favorite writers' resources as well.
Note: Goodreads no longer allows links in comments. Please see the group description for a link to A Writer's Craft at Bloomsbury, and from there you can follow a link to the Online Resources.

The Alliance of Independent Authors maintains a database of Award and Contest Ratings on their Self-Publishing Advice Center. I can't speak to the quality of their self-publishing advice, but if you are thinking about entering a contest, it is definitely worth checking their Award and Contest Ratings to see if it seems legitimate. You can also submit the contest name to their Watchdog Desk or view their Guidelines and decide for yourself whether the contest or award looks worthwhile.

The Betjeman Poetry Prize is for students in the UK, ages 10-13, which is a little young for most people here. But they also have a good list of free poetry resources that could be useful.
