How would you like to see The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies well before the majority of the world? You’d like that, wouldn’t you? OK, how would you like to see the epic finale to the epic Hobbit trilogy in its first official screening with the epic filmmaker himself, Peter Jackson? You’d like that too, right? OK, how would you like a free trip for two to New Zealand to go see said film, Hobbiton (Frodo and Bilbo’s hometown), and other key film sites from cinematic Middle-earth?

We figured you’d say yes.

If you’re a Hobbit fan, it honestly doesn’t get much better than this. But are you the ultimate Hobbit fan? Because that’s what it’s going to take to claim this prize. Much like Bilbo must earn the gold that sits beneath Smaug’s mighty wings, you, too, will have to work for your booty.

See, the Hobbit Fan Fellowship Contest is far more than a giveaway. It’s a test of your Hobbit strength and character, intended to suss out the world’s foremost Hobbit fans by putting contestants through a series of four challenges, the first of which, “Postcard to Peter,” launches today. Head here for all the details.

Good luck, and may the ultimate Hobbit fan win. Actually, may the ultimate fans win, because Warner Bros. is giving away 12 (that’s right 12!) grand prizes. So fare thee well, fellow travelers.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies opens in all of its glory on Dec. 17.
