Chances are you know this story. It has friendship and adventure and dragons and Big Life Lessons, and so much fuel for the imagination. In this giveaway sponsored by The Hobbit: Illustrated Edition by J.R.R. Tolkien, illustrated by Jemima Catlin, we asked you to let your imagination run wild and create your own original work inspired by this classic story.

Three finalists will receive copies of The Hobbit: Illustrated Edition, and the winner (selected by readers’ votes) will receive the awesome prize pack pictured above, which includes:

  • Smaug tote bag
  • “Second breakfast is the best breakfast” coffee mug
  • “Never laugh at live dragons” button
  • Dragon temporary tattoo
  • Hobbit bookmarks

    We’ve chosen the three finalists, and we’re including previews of their entries below. To see the full entry, just click the link, check them out and then cast your vote below. The polls close at 11:59 PM, on Tuesday, October 22. We’ll announce the winners later in the week.
