Research in Motion is sponsoring a BlackBerry Messenger Contest where the grand prize winner will receive $5000 for the best captioned picture or video telling the world how they use BlackBerry Messenger.

Other Great Prizes Include:

  • Runners-Up: The second and third highest scoring entries, selected from the top 25 highest scoring entries, will receive $1,000 to share an experience with their BBM group, or do whatever else they can dream up with the cash.
  • Top 25 BBM: Twenty-five Top 25 Prizes will each be awarded a prize pack consisting of one Music Gateway, one Multimedia headset and one BBM t-shirt.
  • Most Viral: One winner, selected from the top 200 Most Viral entries, will receive $500 to share an experience with their BBM group, or do whatever else they can dream up with the cash. Learn about Most Viral.

The odds of winning (at the time of this posting) quite high, as, just under 200 participants have submitted entries.  That gives you better than a 1 in 8 chance to win.
