Local comp question

Just wanted to know how everyone else finds local comps?

I have been through all of the local magazines that tend to be free but not sure where else to look?

Google is not very helpful in this instance unless there really are no comps in my area... I used terms like 'town name competitions'. Should I be searching for something else?

Any help much appreciated thanks

I see most on Twitter & Facebook. Just follow your local newspaper or other local companies

We have a local free publication that runs a competition, otherwise it's the ones on Facebook & Twitter with a local connection.

Look on local paper and radio station websites, some towns and counties have their own promotions websites.
