The first annual SFX Blog Awards are open for voting and TheOneRing.net is humbled to find that we’ve been nominated in the ‘Best Franchise Film Site‘ category. As described by SFX, the awards…
…celebrate the best that SF and fantasy fan-driven and insider-developed internet activity has to offer. These awards aren’t for big, profit-making sites but for sites that were created for the love of the genre, and are maintained by people out of love rather than money.
If you feel TheOneRing.net is the best in this category, we encourage you to place your vote. And it goes without saying, TheOneRing.net is only as successful as the efforts and dedication of our all volunteer staff and the constant encouragement from Tolkien fans worldwide. Thank you for your support! [SFX Blog Awards] [Best Franchise Film Site Category]

The organisers of the annual Middle-earth Weekend at Sarehole Mill, Hall Green, in Birmingham, would like to invite you to take part in our photographic competition. Submit to us your photos of a tree or trees, taken throughout the year, that are sympathetic to Tolkien’s own love of trees and his stories. The aim is to create a calendar for 2012 that can be bought online. We invite you to submit photographs, taken at any time of year, of favourite, unusual, natural, beautiful and characterful trees, leaves or branches. Participation is free of charge. Entries must be original, natural and unmodified apart from minor cropping or resizing. They do not need to have been photographed recently but we would like details of where and the date when the photograph was taken.
The 12 chosen photographs will have the distinction and recognition of being included in this unusual and distinctive calendar with prizes awarded to the best two.
The Competition runs from now until the end of April when the winners will be chosen and their photographs prepared for display during The Middle-earth Weekend on Saturday and Sunday 21st and 22nd May and subsequently incorporated into the design of the calendar. Details of the competition and its rules can be found on our website: www.middleearthweekend.org.uk.

Charles Ross may have only watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy a dozen times, but he has performed the trio of films, in their entirety, at least a couple of hundred. It’s a feat that has to be seen to be believed but the Canadian impressionist has attempted to recreate over 40 different characters – their voices, their nuances and their mannerisms – as part of his One Man Lord of The Rings show.
