Win tickets to a screening of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power S2 and be among the first to witness Sauron's rise.

In some of the most thrilling news we've heard lately, Sauron is set to make a return, casting a looming shadow over Middle-earth as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power embarks on its second season on Prime Video.

To celebrate the release, we're giving away seven double passes to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 Australian Special Screening in Sydney to give you an exclusive first look at the epic saga's next chapter.

All you have to do for your chance to win is tell us in 25-words-or-less which Middle-earth race you would join — elves, dwarves or men — and why.

In season 2 of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned, stripped of his army and allies — and must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength. The second instalment takes the epic scope of season 1, which captivated more than 100 million viewers worldwide, even further — thrusting the heroic legends of Middle-earth's fabled Second Age into a world on the brink of disaster.

Until then, set your countdown, rewatch season 1 and prepare for an epic adventure — because The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is returning to Prime Video on August 29.

The screening will take place at IMAX Sydney on August 26, with arrivals at 5.30pm. Please note, winners must be 18+ and based in Sydney or arrange their own travel to attend.
