The Screengrab
Parting is such sweet sorrow. As House readies for its final shift at Princeton-Plainsboro on May 21, Fox is giving the show's loyal fanbase a chance to give the series a proper sendoff.

Viewers can also enter into a separate sweepstakes that could land them at the show's wrap party in Los Angeles on April 20.
