If you're up for the challenge, you must not use or touch any smartphone for 365 consecutive days. Instead, the company will provide you with a 1996-era cellphone that can be used during the contest.
If you can't go without a smartphone for the entire year but are able to complete the task for six months, you can win $10,000.
And don't think you can fool vitaminwater because a lie-detector test will be performed at the end of the contract period.
Participants must enter the contest by Jan. 8, 2019. To do so, create a tweet or Instagram post explaining how you would use your year if you took a break from your smartphone. Make sure to include the hashtags #nophoneforayear and #contest in the social media post.
