MPL’s 9th Annual Peeps Show
Spring is coming and we’re excited for MPL’s 9th Annual Peeps® Diorama Contest! We’re all digital again this year and our theme of “New Beginnings” celebrates the anticipation and joy of spring.
The Rules
Create a springtime diorama featuring literary characters. For example, recreate “Peeper” Cottontail in Mr. McGregor’s garden or show all your favorite literary characters playing in the rain. While those marshmallow-y Peeps® should feature somehow, we encourage you to get creative with materials you already have at home to build the rest of your diorama – action figures, magazine cutouts, etc.
Age categories are Adult 18+; Teen 13-17; Youth 8-12; Kids 7 & under.
To submit your entry:
- Email up to 3 photos of your completed diorama to: dioramas4mpl@gmail.com
- Please include “Peeps Diorama Entry” in the subject line of the email.
- In your email, please include:
- a title and/or caption for the diorama.
- which age category you’re entering: Adult 18+; Teen 13-17; Youth 8-12; Kids 7 & under.
- the participant’s name, and a good phone number or email.
- Dioramas must be submitted by April 21.
- Submitted entries will be displayed on the library’s website.
- Entrants agree to permit Missoula Public Library to photograph and submit images in advertising or promotion.

- Voting will open on April 23 and close on April 28.
