I took this for my high school photo class project and for a City of Fresno contest. I honestly think it can win.

Fresno competition.

Nice capture, but I think the head of the bee wants a little more focus.

but the depth of field could have been greater, unfortunately the front petals and the bee's head is out of focus which will be noted when judged. I don't know how prestigous the competitions are but focus is a main issue and you can lose critical marks for lack of it.
