The Brezna Village in northern Montenegro is hosting the yearly “laziest person” competition. There are currently only seven people remaining in the unusual tournament, which began last month with 21 entrants.

The winner of the competition will be the one with the longest bedtime. In the competition, competitors spend virtually the entire day dozing off on a mat.

Standing and sitting are both considered violations, and the offending player will be removed from the game right away. However, ten minutes are allotted for bathroom breaks every eight hours. In order to keep them engaged, they are also permitted to use laptops and cell phones.

This year, as the game entered its 26th day, seven people were still competing. The victor of the previous year had already established a record by lying down for 117 hours. The grand cash prize for the game is set at $1,070, or roughly $88,000.

The event’s organizer, Radonja Blagojevic, claimed that the idea that Montenegrins were lethargic was the reason it was started 12 years ago. We staged this lying-down battle to see who can put up with it the longest, playing off the myth that Montenegrins are slothful. Out of the 21 applicants this year, there are currently seven contestants, Blagojevic stated.

The contestants maintain good health throughout the process and take use of creature comforts while playing by the tight game regulations.
