Well friends, it’s Peeps season and the Washington Post is holding their fourth annual diorama contest using the iconic marshmallow candy. Last year’s Peeps Show brought in more than 1,100 entries ranging in subject matter from classic Twilight Zone episodes to the “Miracle on the Hudson.”

Creations must be a “…diorama of a famous occurrence or scene or concept. It can be a historic, current or future event. It can be a nod to pop culture. It can be an evocation of an idea or abstraction. The one rule is that all the characters in the diorama must be played by Peeps…”

Pictured here are some of the past winners and finalists. A slide show of the 40 2009 finalists can be found here.
