You’ve seen the movies. You’ve heard the list of nominees. Now it’s time to pick the winners.

Warren Theatres and The Wichita Eagle are teaming up again this year for the annual Oscar Ballot Contest, which offers a top prize of $350 worth of gift certificates to the Warren Theatres that are good not only for movie admission but also for popcorn, candy, cold beer and anything else the theater sells.

There are two contests – one for adults ages 18 and older, and one for youths between the ages of 13 and 17.

Adults can win $350, $200 or $100 in Warren Theatres gift certificates. The contest for young movie fans offers $150 in Warren gift certificates for first place, $100 for second place and $50 for third place.

To play and see the official rules, go to Kansas.com/oscars. Only one entry is allowed per person, and all entries must be completed by 1 p.m. Sunday, the day of the Oscar broadcast. In the event of a tie, the winner will be chosen through a random drawing.
