I love to do creative writing. For school we have a contest called Power of the Pen that competes all over the state. I am going to the state compition and want to practice for it. How can I find inspiring things to write about?

What inspires you? Without knowing about you, it is hard to recommend "inspiring things to write about."

You could write about how hard it is to find an inspiring topic.

I hope this helps. If not, repost with more specific information. Thanks for asking.
You could get ideas from news articles. For instance, this morning I read about a high school student who is handicapped. At a diversity discussion, several other students apologized to him for teasing him over the years. That made him feel better than he had in years and gave him more self-confidence.

Check out news stories telling positive things that people are doing.
