The Office Peeps Contest

Banner: Matt Collins

It’s about time we had another cool, creative contest, right?

First off, I must say, this idea is totally swiped from The Washington Post’s magnificent Peeps Diorama Contest (check out last year’s entries). When I saw those amazing creations, I knew I had found our next OfficeTally contest!

Your task: depict a scene from ‘The Office’ using Peeps, for a chance to win a $30 Amazon.com gift certificate and a cast-autographed mug from ‘The Office’!

UPDATE: the 20 finalists have been selected!

How to submit an entry

1. Go buy some Peeps.
2. Depict a scene from ‘The Office’ using Peeps.
3. Take a photo of your scene, and upload it to any photo sharing site.
4. Add a comment to this post with:
   - The Office episode name and scene depicted
   - a link to your Office Peeps photo
   - any details you would like to highlight
5. Include a valid email address in the Email field of your comment.

You’ll see a [from tanster: received] note in the comment when your entry has been officially received; please allow 48 hours for this to happen. All entries will be hidden until finalists are announced.

Rules

• Use scenes from broadcast episodes only (no webisodes, no deleted scenes, etc).
• Characters must be made of actual whole Peeps.
• You may add clothing, backgrounds, and props only if they are part of the original scene.
• Do not add captions, labels, voice bubbles, etc. to the scene or photo.
• Don’t enhance the photo with special effects, etc. As Creed would say, au naturelle, baby!
• Submit only ONE photo. Keep in mind that if your entry is chosen as a finalist, I will resize your photo to 450 pixels wide to post here at OfficeTally.
• One entry per person.
• U.S. entries only, please.
• Violation of the rules will disqualify your entry from winning prizes.

Judging
