MMS Smile Contest

In U.S., telecom operators are trying hard to promote MMS. Cingular has tied up with Kodak to launch a national photo contest called 'Share a Smile'. The competition runs from 6th April through 29th May. Photos submitted using a camera phone with MMS have a chance to win one $10,000 grand prize and the opportunity to have their photo displayed on the Kodak billboard in New York City's Times Square. Weekly winners will receive a new Motorola V400 flip-phone with integrated camera.

Additionally, all those who submit pictures will receive a 90-day free trial to KODAK Mobile Service, which offers camera phone users online to their digital photos and phone-captured video.
