The University of Mississippi runs 5 different contests one of which is
called the Algebra in Action Contest. You can access their website here:

Your daughter might also find their other contests interesting. The 5
different contests are described here:

I am a middle school teacher at Frisbie Middle School in Rialto, California
and one of our teachers has used the Middle School Madness as part of his
classroom instruction for 2 years. He has had three students who have won
the calculator. It is quite an exciting prize.

The other idea that I thought of was to suggest the Problems of the Week
that the Math Forum hosts. There are no prizes involved but it is a great
activity. You can find the various PoWs here:
