The Peeps Are Back!

For many years, it was a tradition at YCLD to host an annual contest where people would make shoe-box dioramas of their favorite books and movies using only marshmallow Peeps candy as the "people" in the scenes. No one really knows why we stopped doing this contest, but the teen staff loved it, so this year, we are bringing it back as a month-long teen program.

Basically all you need to do to enter is come see us in the Main Library Teen Room, and ask Alex, Nikki or Elia for an entry form. Then create a diorama and bring it in to us by March 31st. In April we will have some impartial people come in to judge the contest and choose the top 3 best dioramas as well as let people vote for the "Peeple's Choice" winner. Winners will receive a trophy, a cool prize and bragging rights for the year.

Check out the pictures below, from past year's contests for some inspo, but please don't copy! All your work should be original. The contest begins today so stop in and grab your entry form!
