best format for submitting photographs?

I am interested in taking my photo. work to the next level, i.e. trying to get it out in the world rather than bothering my friends and family for encouragement! My question is this: do I need to shoot slides of my B+W prints so that I can enter contests, apply to commercial venues etc.? Is a copy stand the only answer? Or is there some way to do this digitally? I read the info. people wrote in about the reversal process but I'm embarrassed to say I am not that technical about this whole thing, and I just want to get this done the simplest way possible. Thanks for any help you can offer! gail
