The new site has missions for fans to take, including creating and submitting your own original Xenomorph-themed Alien artwork by April 19.

The site is also where you’ll be able to watch a live streaming event from Fox Studios in Los Angeles on Alien Day, a special one-hour streamed event will feature cast members, exclusive footage from the film, the announcement of the art contest winner, the launch of a behind-the-scenes digital series, Alien Day activations and reveals.
