One of my prefered ways to find poetry contests is in Poets & Writers Magazine. If you buy a copy, look in the back section where they list poetry and other types of writing competitions. They always add new ones each month, so if you don't see something you like then try again the next time.
From my experience in looking around the web a big majority of them are scams. But the warning signs of a scam are usually the following:
They don't require an entry fee (nearly all legitimate poetry competitions will require some type of entry fee to cover the judging and prizes)
Usually offer large cash awards (because the sponsor tries to entice people who enter with anthologies, plaques, etc.)
Most legititmate competitions have a focused theme, so if you see a competition that accepts any type or style of poetry, watch out!

Hey! I know what you mean when you're looking for something real- as its hard to tell what's fake and what's real.
First off:
I found a, what seems to be legit, website with poetry, essay, story, play, and artwork contests.
Sorry- when I first posted- I forgot the link:
