  Most regular one hour photo places will put low resolution images onto a CD (Sam's Club, Walmart, etc). I believe Mpix also has a service to put your images onto CD - which will kill two birds with one stone if you really want to get some good quality enlargements. Send them your film, and they'll post it to the site for you to choose your images.

  The quality of the CD is really for email and web only. I don't know if they're good enough to use for contest submissions though. Check out mpix - I know you can send in your film and get a CD, but I'm not sure of the quality (I only use digital). Good luck!

  Liz, I use a film camera, and I only get CD's now (so I won't have all those prints lying around). I get my CD's from walgreens & I have then turned around & used that to order from Mpix, (8x10's & 12x14's) and the quality is awesome. The only thing I encountered with this, is that walgreens has scratched my negatives on more than one occasion. So now, if I have more important photos, I get my CD from a more reputable place!
Hope this helps. Have a great day!
