维他命水公司向智能手机成瘾者发起了一项技术含量低的挑战:一年不用智能手机,将赢取10万美元。
Vitaminwater is issuing a low-tech challenge to smartphone addicts: Ditch your device for a year, and win $100,000.
参赛方式是在推特或Instagram上分享帖文,解释自己不刷社交媒体的时间将如何打发。
Enter the contest by sharing a post on Twitter or Instagram explaining what you'd do instead of scrolling through social media posts.
维他命水公司称,所有年满18岁、拥有并使用智能手机的美国合法公民都有资格参赛,且申请将以原创性、品牌关联性、幽默性等因素为评判标准。
All legal residents of the US who are 18 or older and own and use a smartphone are eligible to enter, Vitaminwater said, adding that applications will be judged on originality, brand relevance, humor and other factors.
根据官方规则,工作或其他事情上必须使用智能手机的人不必申请。
People required to use a smartphone for work or other commitments "need not apply," according to the official rules.
也不要想着作弊:该公司将进行测谎仪测试来帮助确保参赛者没有撒谎、遵守比赛规则。
