The typical route is to move to LA, get an agent and then get on a show with a spec script of an existing show. For example impressing the My Name is Earl showrunner with a Curb Your Enthusiasm spec. And then, after a season or two, pitching your own shows to the network.
However, although it's rare, it's possible to sell your own shows without going through all that. The quality Miss/Guided is by such a writer, for instance.
It appears easier for animation with both Family Guy and Slacker Cats (from the British guys behind the underrated Hyperdrive).
But to answer your question:
Close to deadline and bit of a long shot but worth a try, keep meaning to do it myself-
Do the people running that competition also turn the winning script into a T.V. show?.

There's also Slamdance in September.
Upcoming contests for the next year are on the Deadlines Calendar on my blog.
