T-Pain and developer [Smule](http://www.smule.com/?ref=hypebot.com) have moved an impressive 300,000 of his iPhone auto-tune app for $2.99 each ( = $897,000!) and now they've added an [amusing contest](http://iamtpain.smule.com/contest?ref=hypebot.com) to boost sales further.

**The Contest:** Create a video singing along to “I'm on a Boat” and you could win $5,000 cash, signed prizes, even the chance to hang with T-Pain himself. Entering is easy— just capture yourself performing “I’m On a Boat” using Smule’s I Am T-Pain app, upload it to Youtube, and then fill out the entry form on the right of this page.

The Prizes:

- Ten finalists will receive a cash prize of $500 and set of Grillz (gold teeth)
