You need to be at least 18 or the age of majority in your country (whichever is higher) at the time of the competition entry deadline (April 10, 2018) in order to enter. Sorry, we can't make any exceptions to this rule.
Unfortunately, due to legal restrictions in each country, this competition is not open to residents of Italy, Colombia, Brazil, Quebec, Crimea, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Sudan. If you are a resident of one of these excluded countries and also a resident of a country not on this list then you can still enter.
While we would have loved to include them, it's out of our hands. The individual laws of each country restrict us from running this competition in each jurisdiction.
Employees of World Nomads, STA Travel, Auto Europe, Toad&Co or Roadtrippers and their subsidiaries and affiliated companies, and members of their immediate families or households, are ineligible to enter this competition.
You need a current passport with at least eight months left before expiry. We'll assist the winner in acquiring a visa and reimburse all associated costs, however the person entering must be eligible to obtain a visa to either the United States or Europe (depending on their choice of destination) for the length of their travel period.
You or your intended travelling companion will need to be eligible to rent and drive a vehicle for the trip. Generally, this means over 25 years of age and with a full drivers license in your own country. Have a look at the Auto Europe website to get an idea of requirements for your destination.
Yes, the character count does include spaces. No, the form will not allow you to submit an entry if it is longer than 500 characters (roughly 100 words). We encourage everyone to write their entry directly into our form to avoid any issues.
Each of the two winners will be chosen based on creativity, answering the question and the most interesting, unique, original and well-written entry for each destination (US/EU). You can find the weightings in the terms and conditions page under point 5. 'Selection and Notification of Winners'.
Each winner will be able to choose their own travel dates sometime between June 1, 2018 and September 30, 2018, with a 4-week travel period. World Nomads will work with the winner to plan their 4-week roadtrip and organise festival and event tickets as needed.
It's completely up to you! You could opt for a jam-packed itinerary with an event every other day, or you could decide to chill out and travel at your own pace. The itinerary is completely flexible and will be decided upon by each winner with help from Roadtrippers and World Nomads.
Sorry, but the prize is just for you and 1 nominated companion. Your travel companion must be at least 18 years of age at the time of the competition entry deadline (April 10, 2018) and will be held to the same passport and visa requirements as the winner. This means that dogs, cats, emotional support peacocks and any dependents are not able to come on this trip.
The winners will need to be available for a 4-week period between June and September this year. It's for this reason we have been flexible with the trip dates. You can extend your trip after the 4-weeks are up, however any expenses incurred after the prize period will be the responsibility of the winner and their travel companion.
We'll be providing you with a campervan that you can sleep and live in for the roadtrip. It will need to be the primary method of transportation for the roadtrip. However, if you want to use your spending money to splash out on a hotel or party in hostels along the way - go for it!
The spending money will go towards any expenses on your trip that are not outlined in the prizes listed above. This will include, but is not limited to: gas/fuel, food, tolls, extra activities and any accommodation costs outside of the van.
No, all entries must be submitted through our form. If you're having trouble submitting your entry, please try using a different internet browser or device.
Make sure your entry is within 500 characters including spaces, which is roughly 100 words. We encourage all entrants to type their submission directly into our form to avoid any issues.
You should receive a confirmation email once you've submitted your entry. Please check your junk or spam mail box if you dont see it in your general inbox.

The prize is for 2 person. What if i win and bring another companion with my own money?
Hey Vicka,
Unfortunately, this competition only allows for the winner to take one friend. Some of the prizes, including tickets will be very difficult to organise for another friend and most importantly there will only be space for 2 people in the van! Best of luck!

What if my companion is Italian?
Hi Valerio,
You can bring your Italian friend along with you if you win, no worries! The restriction is due to the legislation in Italy around running competitions and offering prizes to Italian residents. Best of luck!

Can we take the road trip for one week or 10 days instead of 4 weeks?
Hey Romnie,
Unfortunately the winner must be available for 4 weeks to claim the prize. It's for this reason we've been quite flexible with the trip dates, allowing the winners choose their own travel dates as long as its sometime between June 1 and September 30 this year. Best of luck!

Hi! I have my drivers license, but I'm only 19. Can I still rent a vehicle?
Hey Mariana,
Have a look on the Auto Europe website (linked above under 'do I need to be eligible to rent a vehicle'). Unfortunately, it's usually 25 years old, sometimes 21 depending on the country in question. You could still enter if your intended travel companion was eligible to rent and drive the vehicle, even if you aren't. All the best,

Hey, I was just reading the FAQ and I saw that your travel companion has to be 18 years old at the time the entries end, but I was planning on taking my gf who is 1 year younger than me, she is gonna be 16 when the entries end but 17 when I would book the trip, i'm 18, i'm old enough to travel with someone younger, and I also have the permition of her parents, can I still take her? Please, this would be very important to us!

hello,
I am VERY interested in this . However i am a wheelchair user. I dont have any specific requirements and flexible re all aspects of travel. Is this still worth me applying? my travel mantra is literally to just "roll" with it. however i may need a ramp or specific van rental for this purpose as i have an electric wheelchair.
thanks
Hi Marlena,
Love the travel mantra! Of course you can still enter. We'll be able to accomodate your needs if you do win. The winner will have some capacity to choose which van they choose from our partner Auto Europe and if need be we'll cover the cost of making sure the van is accessible for for you. Good luck!

Hello, is it mandatory to use the van ? How about if me and my chosen friend don't want to actually use the van at all, but instead use any other means of transportation available (like trains or buses for example) by using some amount of money of the $6,000 offered in order to move around ? Thanks !
Hi Safia,
The van will need to be the primary method of transportation for the winners of the trip. However, if you want to use your spending money to splash out on a hotel or party in hostels along the way - go for it!

No one asked, or asks, in the faq whether you are truly not ageist.
Out of the possibilities of being ageist and not admitting it, being ageist and not even knowing it (not as dishonest but a worse kind of bigotry), or actually not being ageist, I would like it to be the last possibility.
But I cannot be certain.
If you have people of all ages, including over fifty, as past winners, then anyone interacting with you could be a little more certain.
Care to be honest?

Hi Colin,
You or your intended travelling companion will need to be eligible to rent and drive a vehicle for the trip. Generally, this means over 25 years of age and with a full drivers license in your own country. Have a look at the Auto Europe website (linked above) to get an idea of requirements for your destination.

Obviously he has all vaccinations and a passport :)

Hi there!
Even though I live in Germany, I might be traveling to Brazil during summer. Is that okay for me to get the tickets from there on? (I only ask because I read that Brazil is not an eligible country for participants). Do we have to travel back and forth from the same city?
Many thanks!

Hey there,
Just curious if you could answer what some of the music festival options have been in the past?
Thank you.
Hi Jessica,
We've never run this competition before! We do have some relationships with music festivals however we will be restricted by availability for other festivals. We will work as best we can with the winners to try and get them tickets to what they want to go to. The idea is for winners to go to events big and small, cultural and musical, and obviously tickets will depend on whether they are sold out.
Good luck!

Hi, big question...... I'm married and if I win my travel companions will be my wife and my baby of 1 year (Our daugther is with travel experience, we traveled with her from Siberia to Chile, also had a big trip in Spain and road trip to desert of Atacama), we can participate? The insurance and extra charges in air tickets of my baby will be on my own money!

Will the winners have to pay the taxes on this trip, on the $6000, the gear worth $2500, and the campervan? Because of my life and what I've seen/dealt with, I find it really hard to believe that you can just win an all inclusive trip without having to pay something. Please let me know, cause if so I would like to withdraw my entry immediately.

Hey there World Nomads!
Just wondering if there was a kilometer/mileage limit on the camper vans per day for the USA route.
If so, would there be a possibility to put on more or unlimited miles per day?
Thank you!
Hi Taylor,
Auto Europe rents their vehicles by the day which World Nomads will be covering. The winners will have to cover the cost of fuel/gas which will come out of the US $6000 spending money. If you are planning to drive for long distances, you would need to allocate more of the spending money towards fuel.
Best of luck!

In my country, people can take a test and get their driving license if they have reached 17
I'm 17 and have a driving license, can i take part of this summer roadtrip? thank you
Hi Adam,
Please refer to the first question in the faqs.
- Bec, World Nomads
No one asked, or asks, in the faq whether you are truly not ageist.
Out of the possibilities of being ageist and not admitting it, being ageist and not even knowing it (not as dishonest but a worse kind of bigotry), or actually not being ageist, I would like it to be the last possibility.
But I cannot be certain.
If you have people of all ages, including over fifty, as past winners, then anyone interacting with you could be a little more certain.
Care to be honest?
Hi! I was looking through the requirements for the entry and I accidentally pressed the submit button. I then received a confirmation email about my entry, but I didn’t write anything in any of the boxes. Will this jeopardize my ability to submit a legitimate entry?
What if were both not 25? Is someone going to drive for us??
Hi Colin,
You or your intended travelling companion will need to be eligible to rent and drive a vehicle for the trip. Generally, this means over 25 years of age and with a full drivers license in your own country. Have a look at the Auto Europe website (linked above) to get an idea of requirements for your destination.

If you win can you gift your trio to some else?
Hi Nicole,
No, the winners must be the people using the prizes.

Hi! I saw that the age requirement requires your travel partner to be 18 by the deadline. If they are not 18 by the deadline, but 18 by the travel dates, is that acceptable?
Hi. I have attempted to submit my entry without any success. I am under the character limit. I have typed it completely into the Nomad web page entry box. And I have attempted using a different browser. Help? Andrew
Hi Andrew,
There was a bug in the form, but it's all fixed now so it should allow you to submit. Best of luck!

I just clicked on the ‘Enter now’ and was reading the form, my phone screen got locked and when i unlocked, the page got refreshed and i got entry submitted confirmation email!
I never even got to complete the form. Can this be resolved so that i can enter a completed form?
Thanks,
Hi, I'm from Colombia but I'm a legal resident in Chile (I've got a Chilean Resident ID). Can I still apply?
Hi David,
Yes you can! Best of luck,

why i cant submit my birthdate?
Does the travel partner has to be human? Or could it just be my travelbuddy, who’s a dachshund mix- prefer having someone who doesn’t talk much and doesn’t stop me from doing whatever I love most ;) He’s a van travelling expert and the perfect photo motive getting more likes than I ever do.
Obviously he has all vaccinations and a passport :)
I live in the US. Would I be able to bring my cats along on either road trips?
Hello,
My submission is less than 500 characters and 100 words (confirmed by microsoft word, your form and a seperate website). However it still wont let me submit, every time I try I get an error message which says my submission should be between 3 and 500 characters.
Hi there!
Even though I live in Germany, I might be traveling to Brazil during summer. Is that okay for me to get the tickets from there on? (I only ask because I read that Brazil is not an eligible country for participants). Do we have to travel back and forth from the same city?
Many thanks!
Is there an upper age limit? I see that you insure people who are under 70, but does that limit entry into this contest?
Can I change the destination after I submitted my form? If can, how do I change it? Please respond my question, thank you.
I am a dual resident in both the US and Italy. May I still enter even if the later country is on the restricted list? Thank you.
In reply to a query "How will the winner be chosen?", it is mentioned that "weightings in the terms and conditions page under point 5. 'Selection and Notification of Winners'" is provided.
But I am unable to find the term and conditions page.
Could you kindly help??
Hello,
I would love to participate, and I am Brazilian.
Just loved the idea of 4-weeks on a Van traveling!!
Is there anything that I can do, such as, ask permission for any Brazilian authority that will make my participation possible?
Thanks!!
Hi!
I would like to ask one question. How is it with choosing the location of the roadtrip - can I choose the US even if I am from Europe or just the european route?
Thanks a lot.
Hi Zuzana,
You can choose from either!
Good luck,

Hey there,
Just curious if you could answer what some of the music festival options have been in the past?
Thank you.
Hi Jessica,
We've never run this competition before! We do have some relationships with music festivals however we will be restricted by availability for other festivals. We will work as best we can with the winners to try and get them tickets to what they want to go to. The idea is for winners to go to events big and small, cultural and musical, and obviously tickets will depend on whether they are sold out.
Good luck!

hi, I´m Colombian but now I live in Spain, Can i participate?
Hi Alejandra,
As long as you are a legal resident of Spain then yes you can!

Hello,
I was looking between the entry forms when my phone died. When I went back on I got an email confirming my entry, but I hadn't completed anything! Would there be any chance I can get a chance to do it again to complete it?
Thank you!
Hello guys!
My travel partner and I will be 24 years old at that time and we would like to know if we can rent a car to travel in USA because you say that, generally, we would need to be 25 to rent it (due to the extra fees).
Hi Maria,
Check out the Auto Europe website to see if you are able to rent a vehicle. As long as you are able to, we'll be able to cover extra fees if you do win.
Good luck!

Hi there!
In one of the comments above it has been mentioned that there would be further information on the weightings winners will be chosen upon (section terms and conditions). So far I haven't been able to find any. May you help me out?
Thanks!!
Hi, big question...... I'm married and if I win my travel companions will be my wife and my baby of 1 year (Our daugther is with travel experience, we traveled with her from Siberia to Chile, also had a big trip in Spain and road trip to desert of Atacama), we can participate? The insurance and extra charges in air tickets of my baby will be on my own money!
Will the winners have to pay the taxes on this trip, on the $6000, the gear worth $2500, and the campervan? Because of my life and what I've seen/dealt with, I find it really hard to believe that you can just win an all inclusive trip without having to pay something. Please let me know, cause if so I would like to withdraw my entry immediately.
Awesome
Hello there!!!
I'm Colombian but If I'm living in another country, Can I participate? Thank you !!
Hi Sergio,
As long as you are a legal resident of the other country and it is not one of the other countries that we can'r run the competition in then go for it!

Hello there,
I'm from Brazil but I'm a permanent resident in Japan. Am I eligible to apply for it or no? I would do anything to win this prize and go on a road trip!
Hi May,
As you have residency in a country other than that those which we can't run the competition in, then you can enter.
Best of luck!

Hello,
I clicked on the entry form just to have a look at what it contained. Though I exited it immediately, I have just received an email thanking me for my application even though I have not actually applied (yet)!
Is there some way I can withdraw my application in order to officially resubmit it later?
Hoping to hear back soon.
Sincerely,
Mariko
Hey there World Nomads!
Just wondering if there was a kilometer/mileage limit on the camper vans per day for the USA route.
If so, would there be a possibility to put on more or unlimited miles per day?
Thank you!
Hi Taylor,
Auto Europe rents their vehicles by the day which World Nomads will be covering. The winners will have to cover the cost of fuel/gas which will come out of the US $6000 spending money. If you are planning to drive for long distances, you would need to allocate more of the spending money towards fuel.
Best of luck!

Hello World Nomad,
I have a practical question. I'm from belgium . But l'm currently in a work holiday visa year in Australia. What do I put as the country of residence? (considering the friend i will go if i win with will probably be from europe).
Thank you very much for your answer,
Henry-philippe
Hi Henry-Philippe,
You can put either!
Best of luck,

I am 19 and my friend is too. I have a driving license for almost 2 years and he does not. In the website it says you'll pay extra to rent a vehicle if you're under 25, but it is indeed possible. In Europe we only need to be 18 to be in the majority. So can I enter?
Hi Mariana,
As long as you are eligible to rent a vehicle in your chosen destination and are at least 18 years of age then yes you can enter.
Best of luck!

My husband and I meet all the requirements. However we have twin boys who will turn 2 in August. Is it possible to bring children if you win the trip?
