Question Recommendations for International Research Competitions

[Andrii Dzygunenko]

Hello everyone, my name is Andii and I am new here. I know this may not be a relatable question to ask, but I hope someone can help me.
I have been searching for International/European and/or American astronomy and astrophysical research competitions for the past 5 months or so. I would like to present my research works on variable stars and other areas that interest me, such as Active Galactic Nuclei. If anyone can recommend any research competitions where I can present my work and possibly win awards, I would be grateful. I would prefer to visit these competitions online, but I am also open to attending in-person events depending on their location. I have already participated in the IAAC Olympiades, but it's not exactly what I am looking for. I am specifically looking for opportunities to present my research work. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The process you are describing is the scientific peer review process. Submit your papers to a relevant journal and see what they say.

Thank you for the recommendation.
Do you recommend attending conferences to show my research or submitting research work for pre-review during publication?

No one in the scientific community will pay any attention to you until your paper has been published in a peer reviewed journal. That is your first step.

Thank you for the advice. I will work on publishing my research papers.
