The vast majority of contests are for amateurs only - no 
professionals allowed.  But most contests require you to sign over 
all rights to any photos you enter, something no professional, and I 
hope no amateur, would do!  I wouldn't let the distinctions bother 
you.  Amateur has always meant doing it for love and not money ;-)
