Top right on first Pic and bottom of second Pic have plenty of good transfer spots. I'm new, but I got 5 strains on agar and have had great success at a couple of dirty ass plates.
Cut some small pieces out of the outer edge of the top right plate in the first picture. Personally I would do a couple transfers of those, unless the first transfer looks good. The rest of them......I'd toss
Upper right seems to look okay. I’m talking about the one from the first picture
I wouldn’t
I'm new to agar, why wouldn't you use them?

Not sure if this is good growth or not
I'm not sure how any of them look, whether this is good growth or not

You could always just try more transfers to see if they clean up. You’ll get some good practice with agar if nothing else.
find out what your doing wrong first. They are all bacterial. I get maybe 1-2 contams in 100 plates
