Can I add MULTIPLE angles of a single artwork in one ZAPP 1920x1920 image?

Not to influence you either one way or the other. but here are some things to consider. I've been doing workshops for the past seven years on preparing good jury images and every time the question comes up about using multiple images within one jury image, I ask if there are any artists in the room who have had jury experience. Each and every time those artists say not to put anything in the image that will cause the jurors to spend extra time trying to understand what they are looking at. The jurors only spend between ten and twenty seconds looking at your entire set of images (probably closer to ten seconds) so anything that causes them to spend extra time takes away from the overall time they spend looking at and understanding your work. This applies to groupings as well as two pictures within a picture. So if you're going to use a multiple picture image, I suggest making it your last image before the booth so that the jurors will have already seen and digested your other images.

You need to ask the shows you are applying to. Only they can tell you if they will accept multiple images within one image.

If you're planning on applying to Winter Park, they don't say anything specific about it so you might give it a try. It's a difficult show to get into anyway so you may not have anything to loose.

  Thanks, I just applied with one perspective (side view). Next time, I will contact them in advance.
