Some colored marshmallows and creativity could score you $1,000 to your Navy Exchange.
NEXCOMs are hosting the 2013 Patriotic Peeps Diorama contest, they announced on Facebook. The contest is open to all Navy Exchange customers.
Organize Peeps, Mike and Ikes, Hot Tamales and Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews (all owned by Just Born Candy, which is sponsoring the contest) into a creative scene. Maybe they’re on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Maybe they’re reenacting the kissing sailor pose. Maybe they’re jumping into water on a swim call at sea (not advised.)
Snap a pic and submit photos to socialmedia@nexweb.org by March 25. Voting on the the Navy Exchange’s Facebook page will take place from March 31 to April 7 and winners will be announced April 8.
The diorama with the most votes will win a $1,000 NEX gift card. Second place will get a $500 NEX gift card, and third place will get a $250 NEX gift card.
Get creative! And put any leftover Peeps in the microwave to joust.
