The $10K Truth Challenge rewards one thing only—verified evidence. No spin, no slogans, just proof. This guide walks you through how to submit solid documentation, what qualifies, and how the review process works.
Step 1: Start with a clear claim
Quote it exactly. Who said what, where, and when? A claim without context is impossible to verify. Example: “On May 4, 2025, Candidate X said the election was rigged because Y.”
Step 2: Gather your evidence
We accept only first-party sources—court records, official transcripts, government data, full-context video with timestamps, and certified documents. Screenshots alone don’t qualify as proof.
- govinfo.gov — official federal records and reports
- National Archives — historical and legal documents
- FOIA.gov — file federal records requests
- Rev Transcripts — official speech and interview transcripts
Step 3: Format your submission
Combine your claim and proof in one short summary. Each submission must include:
- The full claim text with source link or citation (date, speaker, context)
- Direct links to primary documents or video timestamps
- A one-paragraph logic summary explaining how the evidence supports (or disproves) the claim
Step 4: Submit via our official portal
Go to the official $10K Truth Challenge page. Scroll to the submission form and upload your evidence bundle (PDF, DOCX, or link collection). Be sure to include your contact email so we can verify your entry if needed.
Step 5: Understand how entries are scored
All entries are evaluated using the FABLE method:
- F — False Claims clearly defined
- A — Authority of sources verified
- B — Bias and conflicts noted
- L — Logic chain documented
- E — Evidence strength graded (1–5)
Each submission receives a confidential scorecard with feedback on accuracy, source strength, and presentation.
Step 6: Prizes and recognition
The top entry each quarter earns cash awards from the $10K fund and gets featured on the Evidence Matters homepage. Winning submissions set the standard for future challenges.
