Tourism New Zealand and Air New Zealand are calling out to find keen Hobbit fans to take an ultimate Middle-earth journey to New Zealand.

Gearing up for the 17 December release of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Tourism New Zealand and Air New Zealand have joined with New Line Cinema, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures, to launch The Hobbit Fan Fellowship Contest.

Launched before 6,500 fans at Comic-Con International, an entertainment and comic convention in San Diego, the competition will select 75 winners who can each take a friend to New Zealand where they will spend a week journeying to famous filming locations and tourist hotspots throughout New Zealand, culminating in the ultimate experience for every Hobbit fan – a private screening of the final film with Sir Peter Jackson himself.

Air New Zealand will be responsible for bringing the army of global Hobbit fans to Middle-earth for incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

Air New Zealand chief executive officer Christopher Luxon “this global competition is an incredibly exciting prize for any Hobbit fan as well as a significant platform to be able to show travellers that visiting Middle-earth can be an easy reality.”

Entries for The Hobbit Fan Fellowship Contest open on 25 August.  For further details and to register your interest, go to TheHobbitFanContest.com.
