We've been excited about our Peeps in Places Challenge, but we were thrilled when we found out that the morning talk shows wanted to give it some play. First, on Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer, dressed in Peep yellow, showed off some of our favorite photos from the pool so far. Then Kathie Lee and Hoda chatted about the Peeps on the Today Show, and submitted some of their own pics to the mix (see the video, above). We've extended the deadline for our challenge through this Monday, April 13, so take your Peeps out this weekend and snap some photos, then add your photos to our Flickr pool and then tag them "NGTpeeps." Please limit your entries to three per person. We'll select photos and feature them on our website and the lucky "peeps" will be featured in an online gallery next week. Check out the gallery so far after the jump.

Peeps in Places Challenge Now Extended!

We've been so overwhelmed with the responses from our first "Peeps in Places" photo challenge that we've decided to extend the deadline through this Monday, April 13 to ensure that all the contestants interested in participating can get their Peeps pics in. And to sweeten the deal - no pun intended - the good folks at Just Born, the Peeps parent company, have offered to provide some sugary prizes for the winners: Our grand prize winner will take home a Lenox China Peeps item, as well as a collection of Peeps candy, and our four runners-up will receive a suitcase - or perhaps a sweetcase - filled with items like Peeps luggage tags, plush Peeps, and more candy than you'll find in a typical Easter basket. Don't blame us if you have to make a trip to the dentist afterward.

If you haven't yet submitted your own photos, now's your chance. Take a photo of one or more Peeps in any travel destination, add your photos to our Flickr pool, and then tag them "NGTpeeps." Please limit your entries to three per person. We'll select photos and feature them on our website and the lucky "peeps" will be featured in an online gallery next week. Check out the photos of the prizes after the jump.
