Peeps Diorama Contest opens April 19 at LAC

NEWPORT — The popular Peeps Diorama Contest will make its annual appearance at the Library Arts Center in Newport from April 19-25.

The contest entry deadline is 4 p.m. on Thursday, April 18.

A Peeps Party is scheduled from 5-6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 19. At that time Dioramas will be unveiled, winners announced and a Peeps S’more Roast held. Visitors will be able to vote for their favorite diorama for the Peep-les Choice Award.

Dioramas will remain on display from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 20, and the following Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

Contestants can make an original shoebox-sized diorama with the iconic Easter candies—Peeps—as the main characters. Community members of all ages, businesses, school classrooms, groups and organizations are all encouraged to enter.

Take cues from current events, pop culture or clever “peeps” puns—just get creative, according to an LAC publicity release.

The Peeps Diorama Contest is sponsored by Goodrich Oil Company and Kearsarge Magazine.
