There are competitions like the national apprentice competition and the world skills competition both are in association with FAS but have criteria regarding age and qualifications of candidates , I'm sure there are other similar competitions too but I cant think of them at the moment.

Electronics design competition:

Farnell Live Edge http://www.live-edge.com (Next entry Q3 '09 I think).

I'd also be interested if there were more out there.
