You have to share on Instagram or twitter why you are up for the challenge and end it with hashtags #nophoneforayear and #contest. They will pick one person and they give you a early 2000s phone that only makes phone calls.If you make it for the first 6 months you get $10,000 and for the whole year you get $100,000.

I would but I don't have Instagram or Twitter. I should win $100K just for that.

A ton of people could easily do this.

They'll have to pick a walking stereotype, someone who posts on social media a hundred times a day and ditzy.

This is much cheaper than paying for standard advertising.

I’m sure the people insuring this contest never thought of that.

I honestly couldn’t do it due to my job but if it weren’t for work emails and pics I’d toss this bitch into the river for 10k

CONTRACT: There will be separate rules, timing, and a contract for the scroll-free year that will be provided to the winner of this Contest. He or she will need to agree to the rules and not use (or touch) a smartphone for 365 consecutive days, subject to verification by Sponsor, as well as a lie-detector test at the end of the contract period.

They plan on giving you a fricking lie-detector test to determine if you used a smartphone. What a loophole for them to not payout.

quote:

Restrictions Include:
*No smartphone or tablet use, including using another smartphone or tablet that does not belong to you
*Laptops and desktop computers are OK to use
*Voice-activated devices that are NOT smartphones are OK (like google home or amazon echo)


Official Rules
