VitaminWater Offering Up $100K Reward in ‘Ditch Your Smartphone for a Year’ Contest

Are you addicted to your smartphone? Do you count yourself among the 47% of U.S. smartphone owners trying to limit their smartphone usage? Thanks to VitaminWater, you’ve got an opportunity to go cold turkey and make $100,000 for your efforts.

What is being dubbed as the “scroll-free for a year” contest is pretty straightforward. Going without using your smartphone or anyone else’s smartphone for a year, and count yourself $100,000 richer. Persons who need to use smartphones for work or other social and or filial obligations can’t apply, but for anyone else 18 or older, it’s open season.

The contest will only be available for one lucky contestant, and that contestant will be chosen via social media entries. To enter the contest, simply post on Twitter or Instagram why you need to quit your smartphone, and what you would do with your time that you normally spend glued to it. According to VitaminWater, entries will be judged based on humor, brand relevance, originality and several other undisclosed factors.

VitaminWater will be issuing a lie detector test in order to prevent cheaters from swiping an easy $100K. Although smartphone usage is not allowed, you can still use other devices such as smart assistants or computers. If the chosen contestant only lasts six months instead of twelve, he or she will receive $10,000 instead of $100,000.
