    Hello World Nomads,

    I received your '20 words or less to celebrate World Nomads' 20th birthday.' I have tried to fill out the entry form five or six times now. Each time it freezes up when I try to enter the second letter of my <20 words. I am getting a "page unresponsive" message. Frustration!

    Let me know how to enter, please!
