Enter Patch's Easter PEEPs Contest!
If you've got a creative streak and a passion for PEEPs, enter Patch's Easter PEEPs contest for a chance to win a prize package.
Editor's note: This contest is now closed.
PEEPS, those famously delicious and delightful marshmallow candies, aren't just for eating anymore.
These days, crafty PEEPs creations are all the rage. You can find them on display on Pinterest. And transformed into everything from the White House front lawn, to re-creations of children’s books, historical settings and other unusual situations.
Think you can invent something fun with PEEPS? Now's the time to show us!
Enter Patch's Easter PEEPs photo contest. Here's how:
- To enter, upload a photo of your original PEEPS® design by clicking on the "Upload Photos and Videos" button to the right.
- All entries must be received by Noon EST on March 26.
- You may enter only once.
- Two winners will be selected to receive a Prize Pack worth $25. It includes a PEEPS® Plush Chick Basket valued at $15 and an electronic gift card valued at $10 from PEEPS and COMPANY®
- Judging Criteria: Patch staff will make their picks for the top five designs. Then it will be up to Patch readers to pick the two winners from those five finalists, by voting in the comments. Highest number of votes wins.
- Open to legal residents of the 50 United States (and including the District of Columbia) who are 18 and older.
Thanks. We'll email you the next time we update this story.

You get a prize package of $25 but will spend hundreds of dollars buying Peeps. I guess that brief Patch publicity must be worth it?!! Nah I prefer to eat them.....

You buy Peeps AFTER Easter, when they've gone on sale for 75 percent off, then save them for the following year. That way, you don't spend hundreds of dollars, and the Peeps taste better when they're a bit crusty. Mmmm.

Yeah, they are so full of preservatives and chemicals that they won't even rot in a lifetime.

Funny they can only afford $25 when there are 3-7 ads on every single page. Patch has to be loaded if they're running so many ads.

I believe that the spirit of this contest was intended to be fun, everyone! It's not up my alley, but I still think it's a cute idea. Certainly not anything to complain about!

Exactly, Meredith. Berating a site like Patch that offers a free public service? And for giving away a prize? It's sad that some feel the need to pee in everyone's oatmeal.

Berating? Sounds like you need a dictionary. And a metaphor refresher.

My humble apologies, cscharlt. Were I closer to school age like you, I guess I'd be better at grammar. My agent/editor would be ashamed. I don't even eat oatmeal.

Seriously no reason to complain. This is probably the best thing you could do with these disgusting treats. If they aren't decorations they are poisonous.

Peep cereal, coming to a bowl near you. No one is forcing you to buy anything, lighten up.

Sandy, I accept your apology for randomly picking my comment to blow out of proportion. I also don't mind your back handed comment about my age as if you somehow want to imply you are more mature than I. You're a fine example I can use about how to not grow old and randomly hurl insults at strangers on the internet. Better get ready for summer so you can yell at all those "close to school Abel kids to stay off your lawn.
