(ENTRIES) In this thread I'll include the top entries from the original contest thread—don't worry, I saw them all and will keep checking back there to see if there are new contenders. Future entries should be posted as comments in this thread with the hashtag #ProofofCorruption.
(ENTRIES 2) More contenders in the Proof of Corruption Shop Contest. Keep 'em coming! Post your photoshopped images of the cover—putting it in any scene you think works for book promotion—as a reply to the first tweet in this thread. And please use the hashtag #ProofofCorruption!
(ENTRIES 3) More Proof of Corruption Shop Contest contenders. Top four entires get their own tweet here on the feed—including the author's handle—and the winner gets a signed copy of Proof of Corruption (incidentally, the only copy of the book itself I've ever signed, as of now).
(ENTRIES 4) I've been astounded by the quality of the entries—and how many came in so quickly. We had 30+ within an hour or so of me posting the first contest thread. Hopefully these revised rules will encourage continued brilliance by the readers of this feed! #ProofofCorruption
(ENTRIES 5) Here are 4 more contenders (there are 20 contenders from the first contest thread). But the Proof of Corruption Shop Contest very much remains *open*! I encourage as many people to join as wish to do so. See the first tweet in this thread for rules. #ProofofCorruption
(ENTRIES 6) Just checked my entry folder again and realized there are 4 more contenders from the first contest thread—for a total of *24* total images currently in contention. But I'm certain some of the images posted in this thread will give them a run for it! #ProofofCorruption
(BOOK) For those wondering what this is about, and why it's happening now, my book Proof of Corruption is—as I write this—67 minutes from release, so I'm celebrating with a contest.

(ENTRIES 7) More contenders.
(ENTRIES 8) More contenders! (Remember to put the hashtag #ProofofCorruption in your entry tweets, to be certain I see them. And needless to say, if you're simply commenting on the many amazing entries in the "Proof of Corruption Shop Contest," feel free to use the hashtag also!)
(ENTRIES 9) Just floored by what I'm seeing. More contenders below. For a moment I wanted to say the copy of Proof of Corruption being clutched by the Queen of England like a protective barrier between her and Trump was too big... then I thought, no, it's *way* funnier oversized.
(ENTRIES 10) I feel like maybe this contest is giving folks a chance to be creative and do something fun in a dark time? I hope so—I really do. I can tell you that this is the most I have smiled in a long time. I mean that. Some more contest contenders below. #ProofofCorruption
(ENTRIES 11) I laughed, I gasped, I gagged. The Proof of Corruption Shop Contest has brought *all* the feelings and emotions. *Wow*—keep 'em coming! At this rate—I'll have to see—we may end up with multiple signed-copy winners. Not sure how I'm going to choose. #ProofofCorruption
(ENTRIES 12) Y'all are making this damn near impossible to judge. The scope of the creativity here... color me beyond impressed. More contenders below. #ProofofCorruption
(PS) I advise those of you looking at the latest LEGO Proof of Corruption Shop Contest entry to save it to your desktop or find some other way to see it in *thumbnail* size—as you will be floored. I know I was. More contenders coming soon.
(ENTRIES 13) We're up to 52 contenders! I hope you'll look through them when you get a chance—many are *really* jawdropping—and consider tweeting them out under the #ProofofCorruption hashtag. Book-promoting aside, *so much here* is hilarious, beautiful, innovative, or all three.
(PS2) More contenders are incoming soon! I'll be extending this contest for at least 48 hours, to give everyone a chance to be involved in the "Proof of Corruption Shop Contest" who wants to be involved. See the first tweet in this thread for the contest rules. #ProofofCorruption
(ENTRIES 14) More entries for the Proof of Corruption Shop Contest! Their creativity is outstanding. (Guidelines are in the first tweet in this thread.) If you like one in particular—see this thread—I hope you'll tweet it with the hashtag #ProofofCorruption! More contenders here:
(ENTRIES 15) In choosing contenders for the final awards—with this tweet there'll be 60 contenders, but the contest will be open for at least a couple more days—I consider creativity, humor, photoshopping quality and the image's appropriateness to/for the work. #ProofofCorruption
(ENTRIES 16) The range of images and moments from Trump's presidency covered in the entries to the Proof of Corruption Shop Contest is truly astounding. Kanye makes his second appearance here—but Mitch McConnell and Stormy Daniels appear now for the first time. #ProofofCorruption
(ENTRIES 17) Obama, Putin, face masks, the MAGA hat redone as a Proof of Corruption artifact—a bit of a cheat for this contest, but it's inventive so I let it slide—again we see the full range of Trump obsessions in play in the Proof of Corruption Shop Contest. #ProofofCorruption
