If you are a bold and fearless university student, now is your time to shine – Red Bull Can You Make It? 2018 applications are officially open and awaiting your submissions. This competition is a dash to the finish line, but winning is not the main goal: Teams will have to cover more than 1,000 kilometers/miles in one week before reaching the final destination, using nothing but Red Bull cans as currency. The application has officially open and concludes on Wednesday, February 14, 2018.
On March 6, 2018, the 200 selected teams, chosen from 60 countries around the world from nearly every continent, will depart from one of the five starting points in Europe – Budapest, Madrid, Manchester, Rome and Stockholm. Each team will hand over their cash, credit cards and personal phones and have one week to make it to the final destination, Amsterdam! Instead of cash and credit cards, the students will be exchanging cans of Red Bull for everything they need on the journey – food, a place to sleep, transportation to the next location and other
adventures that make the experience legendary. Selected team will create their own path by visiting checkpoints in various European cities, completing as many tasks on the Adventure List as they can, and posting photos and videos that build support among their family, friends and followers. Score is based on the Checkpoint Challenges, Adventure List tasks and Social Following achieved.
