The Wordpress application (ie. from Wordpress.org) does offer some default shortcodes that you can reference.

[audio]
[playlist]
[wp_caption]
[caption]
[embed]
[gallery]
[video]

[contact] is not one of them. You seem to be referring to the Shortcodes offered by Wordpress.com however these shortcodes are peculiar to sites hosted on Wordpress.com - they will not work in your Wordpress application.

To call other shortcodes you will need to choose a plugin that includes contact shortcodes, or write your own, as described in the Wordpress Shortcode API.
