"ZAPP™ enables individual artists to apply online to multiple art shows, either through a central Web site, www.zapplication.org, or through the Web sites of specific art shows.The online application process also allows artists to directly upload digital images of their artwork for jury review. The result is that all artwork in the system is in a consistent, high quality, digital format.The digital images are presented to the jurors of each show, and the system allows them to score online." www.Zapplication.org

General Information Zapp is a terrific web-based application system that is being adopted by more and more shows each year. With Zapp there is no need to send out sets of slides to each show you're applying to. Instead, you simply go to the Zapp website, register, get a user name and password, and then upload your images to the site. (They don't charge you anything to do that.) When you're ready to apply to a show that accepts Zapp applications, go to the Zapp site, fill out the show application, and then select images you want Zapp to send with your application to the show. They'll take care of the rest.

Zapp is a very easy and popular application system which means that more artists then ever before are applying to shows and you really need to stand out if you're going to get into the shows you want.

Obviously your work has to be unique and original, but it is also very important that your photography be of professional quality. Yes, the cost to hire a professional can seem high, but what is the cost of missed income when you're rejected from an important show? Professional photography, even in the digital age, takes much more than an expensive camera. It's a worthwhile investment.

Applying to shows with professional images is best, but it is also possible that the images you have can be greatly improved. When you send me your files, negatives or slides for Zapp processing, I'll treat them like I would my own images. I've got years of experience working with digital images and color (my Giclee art reproduction business requires that) and I'm confident you'll love the results.

So please give me a call. If you have a password and user name from Zapp or e-jury, I'll take care of the whole process.

Sincerely,

Steve Gyurina
