(WTXL) - One company is betting $100,000 that you can't ditch your smartphone for a year.

VitaminWater is aiming to break the cycle with their "scroll-free life solutions," and is inviting the public to take up the challenge for a chance to win $100,000.

If you want to find out how long you can survive without your smartphone, share on Twitter or Instagram why you need a break from your smartphone and what you would do with all that extra time.

Make sure to include the hashtags #nophoneforayear and #contest. 

The person who is chosen to participate in the contest will then be put to the test and will have to stay smartphone-free (and tablet-free) for 365 days.

And don't even think about trying to fool the system. You'll be subject to verification and a lie-detector test at the end of the challenge.

If you successfully break cycle, you could win up to $100,000. And don't worry if you can't make it a full year, you could win $10,000 if you make successfully make it to six months. 

You can cast your entry into  the contest through January 9, 2019.
