MIT launches Cell Phone Photography Contest

"Can the same thing happen with cell phones? MIT is currently conducting the Mili-MIT Museum Cell Phone Photography Contest, in which individuals are submitting aesthetic photographs in the hope of winning eternal fame, or at least some photo printers.

The contest goes through January 29, and winners will be lauded in a ceremony on February 2."
