    Do robocalls make you want to smash your phone? Here's a better way to harness your anger, and maybe even win some money.

    The Federal Trade Commission is currently running a contest to find a solution to block the pesky calls on landlines and cell phones. The winning submission will get $50,000 and a trip to Washington, DC to present the solution.

    The FTC has already received 230 submissions. Suggestions, so far, include a 24-hour hotline to report robocalls and blacklists to block repeat offenders.
