Come up with a cool PHP app and you could win

Hi,

I work for MP3tunes.com and wanted to tell you about a programming
contest that we are having. There are 10 categories and each one is
worth $1,000 USD (for a total of $10,000 USD).

You can find more information on our web site: http://mp3tunes.com/cb/contest

If you're a good PHP developer looking to showcase your skills (and
possibly earn some cash) then check it out. All final submissions will
be featured on our site.

Best regards,

Kendall

It's just like freelancers. Being in that market, I've seen thousands
of projects at extremely low prices and being completed in a
significantly short time (Where have you ever seen a complete online
photo editing (not like photoshop, but with significant features) for
$1000 and in less than a month???).
