Don't let it get you down. I know, easier said than done since it's normal to be upset if you don't win. As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters. I've had shots I was super proud of not win and others that seemed so simple that did. You never know what'll catch the judges' eyes!
I just wish I could be recognized in some way is all... I just don't know how to feel better when I try to do so much and it all feels so pointless after a while.
You're not alone in those feelings at all. My best advice is take a break, clear your mind, come back stronger than ever. You're super talented. Don't ever lose sight of why you create, whether that's projects, contest entries, etc. It should be about sharing your passion. All the rest is bonus.
