Accessibility


zFairs can be made accessible in a variety of ways by using Chrome's Accessibility Features (such as Live Caption) or by utilizing free browser extensions. Chrome's Translate Page feature can also be quite helpful for non-english speaking individuals.

Bulk Mailer

Easily send a quick email message to all of your students, judges, teachers, volunteers, or staff members.

  3. Type in the "Subject" of your email message.
  4. Type the "Message" you would like to quickly get out to this particular group of users.
  5. If you type "$NAME$" at the beginning of the message, the message will address each individual recipient with their name.
  6. We suggest adding a caption at the bottom of your email message: "Please do not respond to this email by clicking "reply". If you would like to respond or have any questions regarding this message, please email us at __________ or call ___________."
  7. Click "Send".
  8. Please note: You will not be able to receive correspondence from your email recipients via the site. This feature has been created to get quick messages out to your fair participants, judges, teachers, volunteers, or staff members.
