'Peep Art', and other sugary goodness

peepsshow

In celebration of Easter weekend, check out the slideshow of the finalists in the Washington Post's second annual "Peeps Show," a diorama contest inspired by those tasty, sugary, florescent-colored marshmallow chicks and bunnies that creep into the supermarket candy isle each year at the beginning of March.

The winning entry this year was titled "The Tomb of King Peepankhamun," and was designed by a 22-year-old Princeton student a mere two days before the contest deadline. The cardboard diorama depicts a tomb with hieroglyphics filled with Peeps imagery.

PHOTO: "Peep Art," one creation that made it to the finals. Here is the creators' description: "'Peep Art' -- a reinterpretation of the Pop Art movement and homage to Andy Warhol and his muse Edie Sedgwick -- is a revolutionary concept taking the Peeps Diorama Contest to an entirely different level." Wow.

The best thing about peeps are that they are 2nd to cockroaches in their ability to outlast every living thing on earth!

Why don't HA sponsor something like this here? A contest for people to express themselves in a small shoebox size diorama. HA selects a theme and winners get prizes and all entries are displayed at HA. The whole idea is to express yourself in a fun and irreverent way. Never mind the serious artsty-fartsy stuff. UH already has an invitational shoebox sculpture exhibition for the art professional but I'm thinking something for the general public...heck, franksabunch's cockroaches as a theme might work...a diorama with rainbow roaches over Diamond Head, yes!

hemajang: I'll suggest it to them. Maybe for next Easter? What other themed creative art contests can you think of?

Peeps - an issue that matters to most 20-somethings.
