I've looked a bit on this topic and haven't found an answer. I can see how either could work, though I lean towards the latter but I was wondering what the thought/expectation is for the photos as examples of our work that will be furnished to jurie

After reading as much as I could find here on the subject, I set up my new canopy and panels and took my first booth shot. I would appreciate any feedback I can get, as I am about to set up my ZAPP account and begin apply for shows.

The ZAPP update is complete and the first thing I noticed is that there is room for 1000 megabytes of images. At two megabytes each that would be 500 images. I wonder if they would be open to allowing us to create folders of
