My previous post seems to have disappeared from general chat so putting here in case it's the problem as I haven't been notified why it's been removed.
I was advising that a more proactive approach is needed to enter International events and that you don't have to wait to be invited. FIDE junior events are advertised on their website calendar and the event details can be downloaded, completed and submitted to the hosts. However, this is normally done through the National body but when the national body isn't participating the hosts are usually happy to take entries direct. I wouldn't recommend International events to any junior unless they are one of the top graded players in their age group.
