How does Zealous help manage open exhibitions?

Zealous provides beautiful, powerful open exhibitions management software that widens participation and delights judges with a streamlined submission and selection process. It eliminates administrative burdens by automating schedules, customizing application processes, and providing real-time progress tracking on an intuitive dashboard.

What features help increase submissions to open exhibitions?

Zealous boosts entries by accepting rich content (images, videos, sounds, 3D models), offering project reuse for quicker submissions, providing a beautiful and secure payment flow through Stripe, sending automatic reminders to convert draft entries, and creating a streamlined, GDPR-compliant process for candidates.

How does Zealous improve the judging experience for open exhibitions?

Zealous makes judging intuitive, quick, and enjoyable by allowing selection in rounds (e.g., shortlist), providing judge progress monitoring, offering simple category-based judge assignment, enabling anonymous judging to remove bias, and including options for public voting to grow your audience and newsletter subscribers.

How can organizers select the right works for their open exhibition?

Zealous makes artwork selection simple with tools to manage thousands of submissions, powerful filter and search functions, automatic result distribution at each round, best-scored works presented first (while maintaining control over final selection), direct applicant contact capabilities, and a paperless process that saves money and helps the environment.

* calculated income is approximate since:

our commission is “per transaction”, not “per submission”. If each submission requires it’s own payment then the above will be accurate, however if you bundle submissions in 3 for 2 deals the transaction costs will be smaller than those quoted above.
our income calculations do not take into account any tax you may owe in the region you operate in.
this calculation does not include payment gateway fees which are variable depending on the payment method of the candidate.
