EnderWiggin.net has 25 admit-2 passes to this preview for July 17. This giveaway is open worldwide with one requirement: you must be able to be in San Diego, California on the night of Wednesday, July 17, 2013.

To enter, simply comment here and tell us what set room you’re most hoping to see at the Ender’s Game Fan Experience. You MUST leave an email address that you check often or we will not have any means of contacting you, but please do NOT leave your address in the comment.

This giveaway will end on SATURDAY, JULY 14, 2013 at 12 AM Eastern Time. Winners will be drawn at random the next day. Winners will have SIX hours to claim their tickets before alternate winners are chosen as quick turnaround is required for this giveaway.

Trailer Countdown Giveaway: Win an Ender’s Game Pin
We’re just about 24 hours away from the launch of the trailer and I’m going to be giving away 12 random Ender’s Game pin buttons to fans more than ready for this momentous occasion.

Here’s a video giving you guys a quick look at the different buttons I have available:

To enter, all you need to do is comment here and tell me if you’re going to be watching the Meet the Fleet Google+ Hangout tomorrow or if you can’t make it and will watch the recorded version. For an additional entry, you can tweet the following:

Enter to win an #EndersGame pin from @EnderNet and don’t forget to watch the @EndersGameMovie trailer at 1 PM May 7th http://enderwigg.in/11bYA9L

For yet another entry, simply like EnderWiggin.net on Facebook and post on my wall telling me which button you hope you get if you win.

I’m going to be simply awarding them throughout the next 24 hours, giving away a special bonus prize (you maybe have seen it on Twitter!) just after the trailer airs tomorrow at 1 PM Pacific Time. This is a fast giveaway so don’t miss your chance!

A couple of rules:
- I don’t have a limit on how many times you can win this one, so you can technically win up to 3 buttons via Twitter, Facebook, and commenting.
- Open worldwide.
- I need to be able to contact you, so if you comment with no email address, I’m probably not going to pick your entry! Please do not include your email address in your comment!

Don’t forget to RSVP to the event on Google+!

GIVEAWAY: Share the Pin and Win an IF Button

Reports have been circulating that the trailer could be online as early as next week, but I confirmed with Summit that this is not the case. Since that confirmation was met with a lot of “Nooooo!” remarks, I decided it would be a good time to finally give away some of those I. F. buttons I teased on Twitter last week. As of right now, the only confirmed news is that the trailer will debut in theaters on May 17 with Star Trek: Into Darkness.

Also, just to note, I’ll draw the winners for the Posterpalooza soon!

To enter to win an IF pin, simply follow the instructions above. Post the image above on some a public social media (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, G+, MySpace) and then come back here and log all your entries into the Rafflecopter widget below. You must log your posts/shares here or you will not be in the pool of entries to win.

Unfortunately if you have your privacy settings set so that non-friends can’t see, you’ll have to use another medium to enter. You can have one entry for each different social medium. For those of you that don’t use any of them, simply comment below and tell me why you want the pin.

I have 3 pins to give away for this one and will continue to give them away as we get closer to November, so this won’t be your only chance to get one! Open worldwide and closes in a week!

Please note that these buttons are homemade and not official Ender’s Game merchandise.

GIVEAWAY: Ender’s Game Mini Posterpalooza

Okay, so I lied a little and this isn’t a huge big POSTERPALOOZA like I said in the headline, but I just wanted to use that made up word cause it sounds so hysterical. Posterpalooza.

Posterpalooza.

Hahaha! Anyway… as I mentioned before I have 9 total posters to give away. I gave away three of them with my Easter Egg Battles and now it’s time to give away three more.

This one is pretty simple. With CinemaCon coming up next week, tell me what you’re hoping will happen at the con. We know that Hailee Steinfeld, Asa Butterfield, and Harrison Ford are all receiving awards so they’ll be there for sure. But press will most certainly get to interview them and then there’s the Lionsgate presentation on the 18th that hopefully features at least one of the cast members.

So comment here and tell me what you hope to see/hear next week and then log your entry into the Rafflecopter widget below. After you do that, you can do the extra entries.

Good luck!

Results: Egg Battle School
Those of you that commented and guessed the results of the Egg Army fights can now view the results here. Winners are announced under the video!

Sadly, I suspect my kids’ Egg Launchie status skewed the results a bit, so everyone who commented got at least one entry.

Random winners drawn from all entries:
- Hannah Craswell
- Rick Metcalf
- Liam
Since there’s no contact info for Rick and Hannah, you guys will have to email me at valentine @ enderwiggin.net with your address information to claim your prize! Congratulations!

GIVEAWAY: Ender’s Game Easter Egg Showdown
On Easter Sunday, I decorated four eggs with the Ender’s Game army logos and until today have been simply letting them die slowly in my fridge. Watch the video below to hear how you can enter to win one of three Ender’s Game mini poster’s from WonderCon.

I have nine posters to give away in total and will be posting two more contests later on so that you guys have three chances to win a poster from EnderWiggin.net.

To enter this contest, simply comment on this post and tell me who you think will win the following battles in Egg Battle School:
- Dragon Army Egg vs Salamander Army Egg
- Asp Army Egg vs Rat Army Egg
- Bonus Round – Final Army Egg Winner
I actually decided to change things up from the video a bit and for every correct answer you post, you get one entry. Make three correct guesses and you get three entries.

On Sunday, I will post the video of the egg battles so you guys can see who emerged victorious, then draw three lucky winners from the pool of entries. The winners will be announced at the same time of the battle video. Limit one poster per person. This contest is open worldwide and will end on Sunday April 7, 2013 at noon Eastern time.

Here’s a photo of the poster:
