On the sites that I frequent I seem to always see results from IF competitions but I always miss the announcements FOR the competitions. I realize I could just be an idiot, but where do you all suggest I look for upcoming comps?

IFComp is the big one:

Try here as well:

The front page of http://ifwiki.org has an "upcoming events" box, but it sometimes goes without maintenance for long periods
