We house contact and payment information, and our search options can help you find new shows to apply to in the fall and winter, or search for updates on existing shows that are slated for the summer.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Finding Contact Information<\/strong><br \/>\nEvery show on ZAPP can list an email address and a phone number. Listing an email address is required. To find the contact information for a show you applied to, click on the event title within your My ZAPPlications page. The email address will be listed in a modal once you click the \u201cContact Event\u201d button. A phone number, if provided, will be listed with other important information on the left-hand side of the event\u2019s information page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receipts &amp; Payment Information<br \/>\n<\/strong>You can find a receipt on your My ZAPPlications page within the corresponding event card to reference your transaction. If the event has been cancelled and you are receiving a refund through ZAPP,\u00a0 you will receive email confirmation once the refund has been processed, and a new receipt for the refund will appear within the corresponding event card. Your original transaction and its receipt will still be listed. Once you have received confirmation that your refund has been processed, it may take up to five business days for the funds to return to your account. The money will be returned to the account connected to the payment method you originally used for the purchase.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Search for Events<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can also use ZAPP to search for events slated for a specific month. This may help you locate fall and winter events to apply to, or it can help you search for and check the status of summer shows. To find events that are accepting applications, go to the Apply to Shows page and toggle the search to \u201cBy Filter.\u201d You can then choose the event month and any applicable state or region constraints you may have. To search through all events \u2014 even those are not accepting applications \u2014 use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zapplication.org\/participating-events.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Events List<\/a> page and toggle the search to \u201cBy Filter\u201d to search by event month and\/or any applicable geographic area available. Some of these events are offering discounts, payment plans, or other options for artists who have been affected by COVID-19 \u2013 reach out to them and see if they can do anything to help!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The ZAPP team is also here to help! The fees you pay through ZAPPlication.org belong to the event, and thus, are not something we can refund without the event\u2019s express permission; however, we are always happy to connect you with the event and help facilitate positive communication. We aim to promote best practices and transparency, and we appreciate hearing from you! Send us an email or submit a contact form if you have a suggestion for an improvement that would make your use of ZAPP easier.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We hope you are staying safe and healthy during these turbulent times, as there\u2019s no denying this pandemic has thrown us all into uncertain and unprecedented circumstances.
