For many years the Washington Post featured a Peeps contest, in which people from all over created dioramas depicting scenes that reflected the country as they saw it, but populated with marshmallow bunnies and chicks. As of 2017, The Washington Post Magazine shared with readers that it will no longer host the annual Peeps contest due to lack of readership and as a result a lack of submissions.

SOCES wants to keep the “Peep” tradition alive! Your challenge this month is to create a diorama of a famous scene in history or a current event. The one rule is that all the characters in the diorama must be played by Peeps (chicks or bunnies).
