Two things:

1 - I think you should add the range on the right for competitions.
I'm thinking about the case when it is showing up because the end
date hasn't passed, but I'm actually too early and it hasn't
started yet either. There needs to be some visual cue that I can't
enter the competition and I need to know when I could.

I think changing the text that is the link to: This competition
hasn't started. Learn More > or the like would do that and then if
the dates were listed in a range I would be able to figure out when
it would start, without clicking through.

2 - I think the bigger issue might be how competitions and dates are
displayed  on the left hand calendar. I think it would be better if
competitions were shown as blocks of days with the same colour. Of
course this could get rather rainbow if there are a bunch of
competitions in a month, so perhaps just switching between two colors
to differentiate.

Don't know if you are going to be producing this as well, but the
YUI calendar component could make things a bit easier:
