I've only looked at Fantasy YA but some will overlap. I'll check my list and get back to you.
Do you mind if they're UK or US based? Have you tried MS Wishlist? I'd start there, searching with a comp title or sci-fi. Good luck!

Good idea, Rachel.
But if you do that, double check with the agent's agency website that the details – do they want you to email? or use query manager? OR have they closed to submissions – are up to date. Agents don't always update all their listings.
I wasted a lot of time last night that way: one closed for now, one seems out of business (!), one now using QM...

Found this on the side of Erica's list of September competitions. Double-check whichever ones you choose. Some of the list is likely to be out of date.

Ey up - I don't suppose any of your carefully compiled list are seeking a YA Crossover Thriller with contemporary social and ethical themes?

Hannah Sheppard. DHH Literary Agency.
Hannah represents authors across children’s fiction (from 9+ including teen and YA) and a small number of adult fiction authors (her main interests are thrillers and romance).
She likes stories that push the boundaries, have a strong voice and, often, a dark edge – although she’d love to find a great contemporary romance too.
Joe Unwin Literary agency.
Joe Uwin:
I represent authors of literary fiction, commercial women’s fiction, Young Adult fiction and fiction for children aged 9+ but not younger (picture books only if written by established clients). I also represent comic writing and narrative non-fiction.
I’m interested in books that make me consider the world around me in a different way and challenge my received ideas. I like voices that are compelling and unique. I’m drawn to novels that bring out the intimate or domestic in a way that’s entirely personal to the characters but also resonates on a wider human level. Whether it’s fiction or non-fiction, it’s the personal that I love: I always want to get to know people and to hear their stories, and to feel I have come to understand them.

Their website says closed for subs at the moment, though I have just submitted to the other one (DHH).
