The Washington Post has an annual “Peep show” contest for folks who create dioramas using marshmallow peeps. It’s always great fun, but this year’s winner is the best one I ever seen: > **[Peeps Show V](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/peeps-show-v/2011/04/11/AF3NYHSD_gallery.html?wpisrc=nl_lunchln)** > > The winning entry and 35 runners-up from the 2011 Washington Post Peeps Diorama Contest. ---

You may just need to be patient. There’s a lot of traffic, and you have to sit through the commercial first. :mad: Here’s an alternate link just in case it helps: [http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/peeps-show-v/2011/04/11/AF3NYHSD\_gallery.html](http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/peeps-show-v/2011/04/11/AF3NYHSD_gallery.html) It may also get easier as the week goes on - lot’s of traffic in the early days! ETA: I just noticed that I can only see the thumbnails unless I hit the “Full Screen” button at bottom right. ---

Well, it beats eating them I liked the M.C. Escher Peep. And the Vincent Van Gogh Starry Night peep. ---

They’re all wildly creative, but I love the Noah’s ark one. Cute! ---
