Calling on University students: Apply now for the adventure of a lifetime!

If you’re a university student with an up-for-anything attitude and a sense of daring, this is your call to action – because now is the time to apply for an opportunity of a lifetime with Red Bull Can You Make It? 2016. This competition isn’t about being first to the finish, it’s all about the journey: 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 period opens on Tuesday, December 1, 2015 and concludes on Sunday, February 14, 2016.

On April 12, 2016, the 165 selected teams will depart from one of the five Starting Points in Europe – Barcelona, Florence, Berlin, Edinburgh or Prague. Each team will hand over their cash, cards and personal phones and have one week to make it to a dazzling destination, 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 truly epic. If you’re one of them, you’ll create your own path by visiting Checkpoints in European cities (where you will be tasked with Body & Mind Challenges), completing as many tasks of an Adventure List as you can, and posting photos and videos that build support among your (no doubt) passionate followers. Score is based on the Checkpoint Challenges, Adventure List tasks and Social Following achieved.

Can cans really get a humble team of university students across a continent? They can. In the last Red Bull Can You Make It? back in 2014, 100 teams managed to live the experiences of their dreams, from getting tickets to a Champions League match to catching a ride on a private jet.
