Peeps Show
Well friends, it’s Peeps season and the Washington Post is now accepting submissions for their fourth annual diorama contest using the iconic marshmallow candy. Last year’s Peeps Show brought in more than 1,100 entries ranging in subject matter from classic Twilight Zone episodes to the “Miracle on the Hudson.”
You have until March 15th to create and submit your “…diorama of a famous occurrence or scene or concept. It can be a historic, current or future event. It can be a nod to pop culture. It can be an evocation of an idea or abstraction. The one rule is that all the characters in the diorama must be played by Peeps…” Think you might be up to the sticky challenge? See complete details here.
Pictured here are some of the past winners and finalists. A slide show of the 40 2009 finalists can be found here.

Ahh, sweet, glorious Peep!
Sure, those little dioramas are clever and cute but, at 50-some years old, I still look forward to Mom’s annual delivery — ending my fasting, prayer, and penance of Lent — so that I may, guilt-free, devour my pink and yellow sugar treats for Easter.
Amen!

I live in Washington DC and look forward to this contest every year! (well, at least the few years since it started.) One year, I’ll actually enter…

Clever. Brings a smile. Might start an annual at-my-kitchen-table event with my daughters.
