No links, no proof. I doubt this will be a real challenge since a lot of people can do it.

    Vitaminwater is offering $100,000 to one person who can go without their smartphone for an entire year.
    Contest entries will be accepted on Twitter and Instagram until 11:59 p.m. ET on January 8, 2019.
    The selected contestant will be provided with a "1996-era cellular telephone" and an accompanying phone plan to use for one year.
    A lie-detector test will help determine whether you stuck to the rules for the full 365 days.

Smartphone addiction is no joke — and neither are the very real health risks it poses. But if you're not willing to forgo your own device for a chance at less anxiety or better sleep, maybe you'd do it for, say, $100,000?

It's a bet Vitaminwater is willing to take.

That's right, the Coca-Cola-owned brand is offering $100,000 to one person who can go without their smartphone for an entire year. Vitaminwater announced the contest on Tuesday.

Here's how the "Scroll Free For a Year" contest will work, according to the company's website:

    Apply on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtags #nophoneforayear and #contest, telling Vitaminwater why you need a break from your smartphone and what you'd do with your free time. You have until 11:59 p.m. ET on January 8, 2019, to enter.
    Vitaminwater will pick one entry by January 22, 2019. If selected, you'll be contacted via the social-media account you used to enter.
    The winner will be provided with a "1996-era cellular telephone" and an accompanying phone plan to use for one year. They'll also sign a contract committing to no smartphone usage for the duration of the contest. If found to have adhered to the rules at the end of the year, they'll be rewarded with $100,000.

If selected, you'll still be able to use a laptop or desktop computer, but you won't be allowed to even touch a smartphone for a full 365 days. The rules also state that if you can only go six months, you'll win only $10,000. (Hey, that's still no small change.)

It's unclear how Vitaminwater will verify you played by the rules, but a lie-detector test will be involved, according to FOX2now.com.

Thousands of social-media users have already thrown their hats in the ring.
