The 8th Annual PEEPshow will be on view March 27 - April 6, 2015 10am – 7pm daily, including Easter Sunday
REGISTRATION FEE: $10
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: March 13, 2015.
Entry is open to anyone with a sweet sense of artistic humor. Kids are welcome to enter – but be sure they have “engineering help” from an adult. One entry per household community group, or business, no exceptions.
We’ll accept dioramas, sculpture, mosaics, photography, paintings, videos, and computer generated art that feature PEEPS as their primary subject matter or artistic medium. Entries do not have to be comprised solely of Peeps or edible materials, just as long as it is clearly Peep themed. Use your Peeps to immortalize a moment in history; celebrate your favorite pop icon or blockbuster movie; recreate a famous painting; reflect a slogan, or play on words.
Advanced registration is required for all entries. The registration deadline is March 13, 2015, or when we reach our maximum of 150 entries, whichever comes first, so don’t delay. Each registered decorator will receive 10 free vote chips when they deliver their entry.
SIZE MATTERS: All entries must be no larger than 24 inches in any direction. We will accept pre-approved oversized entries for decorators with professional engineering talents and bigger budgets. To be considered for an oversized entry, contact the CCAC to discuss your design plan and dimensions.
VIDEO ENTRIES: must be submitted on a DVD or a thumb-drive with an MOV file. No Exceptions.
