Blizzard have a variety of art competitions, such as for Environment Design, Character Concepts and Animation Contests, with a variety of set themes and designs. These are all Student-catered competitions to help those engage with the professional industry.

I found it difficult to find many competitions which catered towards beginner/amateur animators, or for specific mediums. I think that if I were to take part in an art-based competition, it would have to be a themed one, where any medium was accepted as part of the process.
