Turbine has announced that one of the celebratory events for their 2nd anniversary, the kinship contest, will begin tomorrow and run through June 15th. The contest pits two-person kinships (of brand-new characters) against one another to see who can gain the most amount of points by leveling up. See the official release below for full details!
Official Rules and Info:
WHAT IS THE LOTRO KINSHIP CONTEST?
The contest is a leveling race. The kinships that level up the most and the fastest will win! Starting at noon EDT on May 21 and running through noon EDT on June 15, every new character created is tracked in a special database.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
New characters earn points for their kinship by gaining levels, and you can follow your kinship's progress via a new leaderboard in the Lorebook. Only characters added to a kinship after the contest has begun can earn points.
Players will need to create new characters or recruit friends to join their kinship's adventure in Middle-earth in order to earn points - existing characters do not count toward the point totals. Points will only be awarded to the first kinship a character joins during the promotion - choose wisely... (cont.)

WHO CAN WIN?
The Kinship Contest runs on all servers, and each will have its own winners. There are multiple ways of winning:
* The kinship with the most points overall for each game world
* The kinship with the most points per member for each game world
* The kinship containing the single top character in each server world (based on total points gained by that member and how fast they are achieved in the event of a tie)
* The One Kinship to Rule Them All - The kinship with the most points overall across all servers
WHAT IS THE PRIZE?
The winning kinships will receive pre-payment for its Kinship Hall for up to a year! Don't have a kin hall yet? We'll give your kin a Kinship House and pay the upkeep for 6 months!
