Announcing: Peeps in Places

dl_peeps.jpgCalling all sugar-crazed globetrotters! It’s that time of year again, time to bust your little marshmallow bunnies and chicks out of their cellophane cages to let them explore the world.

Yes, it’s the return of Peeps in Places, and we’re asking our readers to submit their far-flung photos to National Geographic this year in an attempt to create the ultimate global Peeps photo gallery. Our photo editors will be scanning your images and selecting their favorites each week, and we’ll be showcasing the best images on the Web.

So how do you to get your Peep photo noticed? We’ll be looking for creativity and photos that do the most with their sense of place (take a peek at last year’s gallery to get an idea of what we’re looking for). A sense of humor helps as well. “We want to know what it felt like to be there,” says Dan Westergren, Senior Photo Editor at National Geographic Traveler. “And we want to be able to tell by looking at the photograph that the Peep had a good time.”

Here’s how to submit your photos:

1) Go to the Your Shot Page at NationalGeographic.com.
2) If you have a profile, log in. If you don’t have one yet, create a profile.
3) Agree to the Terms and Conditions.
4) Upload your photo, and, this is important, be sure to tag your photo: Peeps. That’s how we’ll be able to find it.

We’ll be sorting through the images to find our favorites, and will be posting them here on the blog in the next few weeks. We’re looking forward to seeing how far afield the little marshmallow treats will wander this year.

Photo: Peeps peer through the viewfinder at the Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. By John Frazier, contributor to last year’s Peeps in Places favorites gallery.

    Have to chime on in on the DC only comic list, best comics this year are easily Image books, should have at least included one or two I would think. the whole list could have used some more variety. Lot’s of subtle Joss Whedon love on the list (not that that’s a bad thing) just feels a bit limited. Nice idea for the awards though. I’m curious on the winners.

    It seems that after the deadline will miss the photo contest gallery overlooking this time. However this has inspired me to take a few peeps and bring them to Everest with me! I still send my pictures for entertainment and enjoyment sake! Thanks for the inspiration! :) Cheers! They must finish this project before the end of this year. But they must plan it well to avoid any trouble in it and aftersales.
