Update: With props to JCH for the title, The PoP Peep Project is launching April, 2017. Send me photos of your peeps in classic PoPville situations to [email protected].
From The Washington Post:
“For 10 years The Washington Post featured a Peeps contest, in which people from all over created dioramas depicting scenes that reflected the country as they saw it, but populated with marshmallow bunnies and chicks.
Hard journalism this was not, but for us the contest offered its own sweet rewards. As fewer submissions began to come in, though, echoing the decline in readership of this feature, we knew that it was time to let bunnies be free again, and we have ended the Peeps contest run.
For now, another long tradition, the Post Hunt — the wacky brainchild of Dave Barry, Gene Weingarten and Tom Shroder — won’t be found this year in these pages or in the streets of Washington because the Hunt couldn’t get a sponsor.”
And Props to DCist’s Rachel Kurzius who came up with this terrific title when she first posted the news before it was confirmed by WaPo Editor’s Note:
“Without A Peep: Post’s Epic Diorama Contest Is Hanging Up Its Marshmallow Hat”
Ed. Note: It’s not so much the marshmallow hat part but the “Without A Peep” part that I thought was genius.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
