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, reflect a slogan, or play on words, or to recreate a famous painting.
Advanced registration is required for all entries. The registration deadline is March 11, 2016, 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.
