I wish there were... also being a completely self-taught amateur composer, I share your pain.
That said, you're a lot better than you think - your Alpine Overture blew away most of the stuff here written by people that do study music full-time, and would have a pretty good chance in almost any competition you enter it in.
The real difficulty, as an amateur composer, is that one often cannot afford to write for a competition, because it would require delaying more significant pieces (and possibly interfering with the primary career).

But we get very long summer holidays when I'll have all the time in the world to compose!
