Make a list of all your local TV and Radio Stations. Visit their websites and locate the Promotion or Contest page. Bookmark these pages and check often for new promos.

Here is an example:

When you do your grocery shopping keep an eye for local promotions on store displays, product packaging etc.

Good luck!

I agree with Tat & Kotik.

You might also look through your local newspapers. I know several times I've found sweeps from local businesses in the small "neighborhood newspaper". The daily city paper also has sweeps from local businesses too.

Yeah I forgot about stores.
I know for example WJRR in Orlando (rock radio station) had multiple contests running all the time for members.I just had to create an account and they email when new ones come out.
When I lived in Ocala I won concert tickets from a Gainesville station.Same deal in Tallahassee..I won concert tickets and backstage passes to a private party there.
FOX Orlando runs alot of contests too.I won a Malcolm in the Middle gift pack once.Sometimes you need to tune in to a show like the Simpsons for example and enter a key code online for a chance at a prize.It varies.
Best of luck!

One trick I found was that many times a marketing company will have promotions for different companies but for locals only. Once you find that company you can search google. for example "site:www.toenternow.com" . They do sweepstakes for the Southern California area. Another trick is to type "no purchase necessary" "los angeles county" stuff like that.
