This contest started 12 years ago to make a
joke about a popular myth that Montenegrins are lazy. This contest is organized
and run by the owner of a holiday resort located in the Ethno village of
Brezna.
The only rule in this competition is lying
down. Standing up goes against the rule. The contestants are allowed to sleep,
eat, drink, read and use phone or laptops while participating in the
competition of lying down. Toilet matters are allowed 10minutes per every 8
hours. 1,000 Euro is the prize granted to the winner.

What is surprising is that Montenegro is
not the only place where there is a celebration of laziness. There is a day
called “World Laziness Day” in Itagui, a city in Columbia. Celebrating laziness
every year, people are marching on the streets along with their beds. Some
people relax and sleep on their beds on the street of at park.
