Contest Boosts Yahoo! Mobile Offer

Yahoo! has wrapped up a camera phone photo contest on pictures about socially conscious issues.

The "Yahoo Picture What Matters" contest asked people to e-mail a picture taken with their camera phone using the company's mobile phone upload capabilities, reports ClickZ.

"We received an overwhelming response from people of all ages, which goes to show that the latest in mobile technology doesn't have to be overly technical -- it's really about communicating," said Doug Garland, Yahoo!'s senior VP of broadband and mobile services.

Yahoo! made a $10,000 charity donation on behalf of winner Klya Biba of Venice, Calif., and gave her a camera phone. Nineteen finalists also received phones. "
