Congratulations to the winners of Peeps in Law 2016: Peep Wars
It was a great year for our annual diorama contest, Peeps in Law. Truly, the Force was with you all. And now the Peeple have spoken, and we can announce the top vote-getters from the eight finalists!
First Place
In first place, with 48.13 percent of the vote: To Peep or Not to Peep, That is the Question, submitted by Legislative Intent Service, Inc.
This take on the legal battle between Apple and the FBI over whether the company should help the feds unlock the smartphones of suspects was delightful, and we’re very pleased for the winners. Congratulations!
Second Place
In second place was Peepy Lobby, submitted by Fang and the Gang.
Combining the famous Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case with a lesser known discrimination case filed by a transgender employee against Hobby Lobby, the creators of this diorama commented: “Welcome to ‘Peepy Lobby’—a family-oriented employer—where employees can bring all their many many children to work and can use the restroom, as long as they use the right one!”
Third Place
And in third place, The Peeps Marshmallow Trial by Anne from Arlington, Virginia; and J, from Falls Church, Virginia.
This was a sugary take on the Scopes Monkey Trial, with peeps asking the all-important philosophical and scientific question: Are we descended from marshmallows, or were we created by a higher authority?
Congratulations to the winners, and a hearty thank you to everyone who entered. For everyone else: You have another 11 months to plan and execute your very own diorama. Get crafting!
