Congratulations to Michala on your winning pumpkin!
Thank you to everyone who participated, we had a lot of great entries this year. Check out our facebook album to see all of the creations.
The leaves are falling, the air is crisp, and somewhere in the greater DC area Fox Mulder is reminding Dana Scully that she once had a crush on a vampire; Halloween is just around the corner, and that means the Annual XFN Pumpkin Carving Contest has arrived.
Do you need an excuse to make this holiday about The X-Files? Because this is it. Not only is this a great way to celebrate the ~spookiest~ day of the year, but the judge for this year’s contest is probably one of your favorite X-Files writers.
The always incredible Frank Spotnitz will make the final decision this year. So sharpen your carving instruments and bring your A game because the winner gets some cool XF goodies!
Here are the rules you need to know before you get started:

Happy carving, Philes!

Submit your entries to us on Twitter using the hashtag #TheEarthendSagaContest by THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH AT 11:59PM EST. We will run a poll on Twitter on Friday, September 9th to choose the winner. The contest is open worldwide.

You're familiar with our clue contests, right? Well, we have one for you! We've teamed up with Tee Public to bring you a fun opportunity and get you ready to celebrate a stylish Alien Day on April 26th.
Every day between 4/17 and 4/20 we will release a game piece. This game piece contains the clues to decypher a quote from The X-Files. We've broken down this quote into five segments; there will be four game pieces that will give clues to a different segment. If you're able to construct the message through them, you will be able to guess the fifth and last part.
All it takes is knowing your favorite show really well.
First person to email us the complete quote, including the last part, on THURSDAY, APRIL 21ST AFTER 7AM PACIFIC, will be the winner of Two (2) T-Shirts from the wide and awesome variety offered by Tee Public. Submit your answers to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Runner ups will also receive a little something, so many will have a chance to win!
This is our first game piece, check our social media tomorrow for the next one!
We're back and we bring goodies!
Back in October, during New York Comic Con, we distributed postcards to participate on #TheXFilesLivesOn sweeps. We also gave the opportunity to all online X-Philes to submit your entry using the hashtag to a variety of social media platforms. We had a few entries, many of you can be checked out following the #TheXFilesLivesOn hashtag, and there were three that won our hearts.
So, without further ado... Here are the winners!
By Twitter user @SpookyCala, this entry takes the first prize! The XFN team felt it embodied so much of what this fandom means to many of us, and has taught indeed great values to generations of fans. Click on the image for the full size version of her entry.

From Instagram user @201xfdoodles, this great drawing of our favorite heroes won our hearts and was just a few votes away from snagging the ultimate honor. It's a beautiful work with a great message!
Winner takes home a bundle of surprise X-Files goodies courtesy of XFN.
From Instagram user @srslykidding, this collage took us back to the '90s in the best of ways. Doesn't this remind you of your own artwork on your trapper keepers!?
Winner takes home a bundle of surprise X-Files goodies as well.
Thanks so much to everyone that participated, it was really super humbling to speak to so many of you in New York and online as well, and we can't wait until January... and more!
