Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about how zFairs works-from getting started and inviting your team to judging, awards, registration, and more.

Where do I begin?

Start by clicking Create My Event at the top of zFairs.com. This will take you through a setup wizard to get your event management started.

How long will it take?

Initial setup only takes 5 minutes. From there, depending on what features you need, set up can take some time. However, you can log in and out as many times as you need to work at your convenience.

Can I invite others to help set it up?

Yes! You will need to sign in as admin. In the tabs at the top of the page is an option to Create Account. Picking the Staff option will allow all who are registered as staff to be able to make edits to the zFairs account. Original Admin can select what type of access Staff members have.

How many admin/staff can I have?

As many as you want! Staff and Admin can have different access settings set up by the original moderator.

Can I schedule judging?

Yes! When setting up judging options, you can create dates and times when judging will take place and when it is closed. You can also assign submissions to particular judges.

Can I assign awards?

Yes! We have certificates you can print out too! There is also an option to advance winners to the next stage in the competition.

Can I manage special awards?

Yes! Our settings allow you to manage different types of awards, and allows you to manually, or automatically, have these awards assigned to participants.

Do you accept POs?

Yes, we do! Please send all Purchase Orders (PO) to support@zfairs.com with the corresponding invoice.

Can I set up my own questions?

Yes! zFairs allows customizable questions for registration, judging, and entry requirements to be added for each individual role.

Can I see the judge’s scores after they enter them?

Yes! Not only can you see the scores, but you can also review feedback given by the judge to the participant before anything is submitted to the participant.

How do participants register?

Participants can register by navigating to the website by the link provided. They then can choose the Create Account option on the homepage. There will be a registration wizard to guide them through the process.

Can teachers view their student’s information and approve their paperwork?

Yes! We have a very handy paperwork review. Codes are assigned to paperwork types to easily navigate which forms have been uploaded by the student, and it also shows who still needs to upload forms.

Is the information saved from year to year?

Yes! You can opt for specific information to be saved, or deleted, so that your event will be ready to go for the next event.

Can participants make changes to their submission after they have completed registration?

Participants have access to edit submissions until the allotted cut off date. You decide what that date is.

Still have questions?

We’re happy to help you get your event set up the way you need.
