Ooooo, that's a broad question. Here's a starting list of places to check:

USFSA Adult (http://www.sk8stuff.com/m_adult.asp)
USFSA Standard Track (http://www.usfigureskating.org/Events.asp)
USFSA Qualifying Comps (http://www.sk8stuff.com/utility/lister_comps_general.asp?show=qual&forever=1&start=12/20/2006)
Ice Skating Institute (http://www.skateisi.com/HTML/event_info/events_comps.cfm)

My compliments to Don Korte's site, www.sk8stuff.com (http://www.sk8stuff.com). It's invaluable for tracking down information and links.

This is just a starting point. Your best bet for finding out about competitions is to check the rink and club websites. That's where the most current info is usually posted. (Especially in the case of ISI comps - some events are over before they get to the main ISI site.)

I can give you a rough estimate of competitions in the St. Louis area:

State Games of MO at Webster Groves mid January

MIssouri State Invitational at St. Peters Rec Plex end of January

Creve Couer FSC comp is usually beginning of March

District 9s are mid-March

Spring Fling competition in Fairview Heights is end of April

St. Peters has a Summer Getaway competition in July

St. Louis SC has Gateway Invitational late October/early November
