Sci Fi Channel Hosts Stargate Sweeps

The Sci Fi Channel last week kicked off a sweepstakes dangling a walk-on role to plug the DVD release of the third season of its popular show Stargate SG-1, as well as the premiere of the show's seventh season.

"Stargate" fans can enter at www.scifi.com/stargate. The prize package includes a trip for two to Vancouver, Canada, where the series is filmed. Entry info is also plugged on 40,000 packages of the three-box set of Stargate SG-1. On-air mentions on the New York City-based channel as well as on the Web site and in Sci Fi Magazine support.

MGM Home Entertainment distributes the show. The seventh season premieres June 13; the DVD set hits shelves on June 17.
