Who this is for

zFairs is built specifically for directors, affiliate coordinators, and network managers running multi-tiered student competitions across local, regional, state, and national levels.

Whether you manage humanities networks like National History Day, product design challenges like Invention Convention, STEM fairs, debate leagues, or fine arts showcases, our hierarchical contest management platform unifies every stage of your event ecosystem.

zFairs streamlines multi-level program administration by centralizing online student registration, paperless compliance tracking, digital rubric scoring, and automated participant advancement—eliminating manual data re-entry and powering seamless event execution across your entire competition network.

zFairs is a great all-in-one platform!

- Alaina McNaughton Associate Director National History Day

In addition to the exceptional support... zFairs is a great all-in-one platform for contest coordinators, teachers, students, judges, and volunteers. I love that registration, payment, project scheduling, judging, and evaluations are all located in one place with easy set-up and a user-friendly interface. This saves time and cuts down on navigating multiple programs. I cannot recommend zFairs highly enough.
