film cellsThe good folks at Film Cells Ltd are celebrating the release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug by giving YOU a chance to win one of their exclusive collectibles!  These fabulous pieces are made using real film provided directly by Warner Bros.  (If, like me, you were wondering how there is still film available, when the movies were shot digitally, here’s what Film Cells Ltd say about that: ‘We believe that the movies are available on 35mm film because there are still theaters throughout the world that are not capable of showing digital movies. We assume that one day this may stop being the case, but for now film is still available.’)

These authentic pieces of movie memorabilia are then mounted in beautiful displays, to make unique collectible items – a stunning addition to any Hobbit collection!  To be in with a chance to win one of these items, simply complete the entry form below.  The competition will run until Tuesday 10th December, and is open worldwide!

If you’re not lucky enough to win, you can still get your own film cell collectible with a discount of 10%, exclusively for TORn readers!  Enter this code at checkout: 1RING2013    The code will get you 10% off any Hobbit or Lord of the Rings purchases from Film Cells Ltd, and is valid until December 24th.  (Within the US there is also an offer for free shipping – use the code FREESHIP.)
