Got an email through this week with one of those hard to believe offers. Register on SMS.ac, upload a Flash movie or Shockwave file of any description by September 15th and get sent a cheque for $100 - to anywhere in the world. The most popular upload by October 15th will also win a $5000 grand prize.

I emailed Peter Moormeier, who sent the email through in the first place to check it out, and it's bona fide. SMS.ac claim to have 50 million users so they can afford to do this. It's part of a strategy to build a network of content developers for mobile phones which could include things like a short film channel.

Terms and conditions are here - to register go here to upload your content go here.
