Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately, the application form does not load for me. Does anyone see the form?

Yes, I think there are some issues with the visualization of the form (at least on some web browsers) I'll let the organizers know.

Unfortunately, this does not work for me. I tried in Safari, Firefox, Chrome, even with Adblock disabled.
In the console, the following error appears: Origin https://www.nten.org is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. Status code: 503.

@ricardomiron can you please let us know if the organisers have any feedback on that? Thanks :)
