Marshmallow lovers must use at least one marshmallow Peep in each entry. Popular entries include historical figures, sports and music celebrities and peeps participating in hobbies. All entries must be rated PG- this is a family event. This is not a diorama contest but if a background is needed to complement your entry please keep it no larger than a shoebox.         Entries will be judged based on the following criteria: creativity, creative use of and/or manipulation of peeps & artful design. Prizes will be awarded in different age categories so children are not competing against adult entries. There is no cost to enter.         Submissions must be delivered to the DragonMarsh Peep Show at the Riverside Main Library between 12pm and 2pm on April 1st. The Entry Form should accompany your submission. Entries must be picked up by 4pm April 1st or will be destroyed/eaten. Entry forms available at DragonMarsh or online at www.facebook.com/dragonmarshpeepshow.     The free family event was started when the owner of DragonMarsh, Mora Blackmarsh, realized she had amassed a large peep collection. Some of her collection was over 5 years old. While talking to customers she realized that everyone had a strong opinion about the peeps. They hated or loved them. Some liked them fresh, some stale. Some liked the pink ones best. Some hated them all and liked to torture the marshmallow treat. Through countless hours of research (and many calories) the Peep Show was born...er hatched. Now the collection has grown to the size of a small storage unit and has been taken to new heights of peepness by her daughter. "We have discovered many people have never eaten a PEEP! They know not the marshmallow sweetness. Some do not even know what a Peep is! (LOL) Whether you love or hate them- this is an extremely fun and sweet show."-Misty Johnson, Peep Mistress of Ceremonies
