Taking a break from your smartphone for an entire month may seem like an insurmountable challenge, but Siggi’s Dairy is prepared to make it worth your while. The Icelandic-style yogurt company is offering a grand prize of $10,000 along with additional rewards to ten fortunate winners who opt to participate in their 30-day digital detox program.
Described as akin to Dry January, where individuals abstain from alcohol for a month, Siggi’s proposes a different kind of challenge – a break from smartphones. The company’s website explains that the contest aims to demonstrate the advantages of going digital-free, with the hope of fostering new, healthy habits for the New Year. Emphasizing a belief in the power of leading a simpler life with fewer distractions, Siggi’s highlights the phone as one of the most significant disruptions in modern life.
Here’s how you can enter the contest:
What Can You Win?
