Yes, once knew someone who had won top short story comps as in £2K prizes about 10 years ago - he got a top agent, very well established and respected. She couldn't place his novel. As far as I know he's no longer writing, at least he dropped out of the group where I knew him. So, despite the difficulty of getting an agent, there are no guarantees.
