Think you can go a year without your cellphone? Vitaminwater is willing to pay you big bucks for it.

The Vitaminwater “Scroll Free For a Year” contest is challenging people to give up their smartphone for a year for $100,000. If you go six months, the company will still give you $10,000.

To enter, create a Tweet or Instagram post explaining how you would use your year if you took a break from your smartphone and share it, including the hashtags #nophoneforayear and #contest.

The winner will be given an 1996-era cellular telephone that may be used for communication during the contract time period, including a monthly phone plan accompanying the phone.

"He or she will need to agree to the rules and not use (or touch) a smartphone for 365 consecutive days... as well as a lie-detector test at the end of the contract period," the officials rules say.

The entry period ends on January 8, 2019 at 11:59 p.m.
