The rules for the ongoing contest are pretty simple: take an interesting photo that includes in some way a copy of Gutshot Straight or Whiplash River. Entries will be judged in a wildly capricious and aribitrary manner based on originality and general degree of fun. You can see past winners at right and on this page. Extra points if your photo includes a celebrity (the more obscure the better). Nudity is acceptable, but only if done in a high-brow artistic way (like here).
Prizes will be awarded in a capricious and arbitrary manner. You might win a signed first-edition of Gutshot Straight, or some limited-edition Gutshot Straight playing cards, or you might get a crime novel persona and nickname hand-crafted just for you and placed on the legendary Wall of Noir. You might get a character in a forthcoming book named after you. Or you might not win at all. This isn't pee-wee soccer, where everybody gets a trophy just for playing, are you kidding me?
Contact us here and we'll tell you how you can email your photos to us.
