Our newest set of features is now available on the administrator and artist sides of ZAPP. This round of enhancements features a brand new event type, a redesigned My ZAPPlications page for artists, and an updated Artist Citation page for event administrators. Read on to learn more about these changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Invitational Events<\/h4>\n

An invitational event is a brand new event type that requires artists to enter a passcode to apply to an event. This event type is ideal for fairs and festivals that are automatically inviting their 2020 artists to the 2021 event and, therefore, not accepting new applications, or for those who want to limit submissions to a specific group of artists.<\/p>\n

Need to create an invitational event? Submit a ticket to the ZAPP team and we can activate the setting. Once an event has been turned into an invitational event, a code will appear on the upper right hand side in the Event Editor that can then be sent to artists who you want to apply.<\/p>\n

Artists can also filter by invitational events to easily search for and find the events to which they have been given a passcode.<\/p>\n

Virtual Events<\/h4>\n

With the rise of virtual events across the country, we\u2019ve added a new virtual event type to the Event Information section of the Event Editor. Artists will be able to find the event on the Apply to Shows, Events List, and Events Calendar pages when they filter by \u201cVirtual Events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Administrators can also now select more than one event type within the box\u2014this is particularly useful for any events that have virtual components or have transitioned from a physical event to a virtual event in 2020.<\/p>\n

Juried vs. Non-Juried Events<\/h4>\n

With so many events rolling artists over from their cancelled 2020 event to their 2021 event, we\u2019ve added a new way for shows to indicate if they will jury artists or not. All events will now need to fill out the following fields on the Jury Details tab in the Event Editor:<\/p>\n
