New “Get In The Gate” sweepstakes announced

SCI FI Channel’s biggest and best Stargate sweepstakes is upon us again for its fifth consecutive year.

Beginning tonight during SCI FI’s airing of the winter premiere of Stargate Atlantis, and continuing weekly through the Season Four finale on Friday, March 14, fans can enter the annual “Get In The Gate” sweepstakes. The sweepstakes winner will win a walk-on role on a future episode of the series.

This sweepstakes has been very popular with past winners, who have appeared in the SG-1 episodes “Lost City”, “Moebius”, and “Camelot,”” as well as the Atlantis episode “The Siege.”

In addition to entering online, viewers will also be able to enter via text messaging. A commercial for the sweepstakes featuring a text short code will air during each new Atlantis episode, airing Friday nights on SCI FI. A maximum of ten entries per person will be allowed over the course of the contest — one each week.

Participants must be registered at SCIFI.com for entries to be accepted. To enter, visit the sweepstakes Web Site.

Fresh Stargate Atlantis episodes return tonight with “Be All My Sins Remember’d,” airing at 10 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on SCI FI Channel.
