We understand the significant impact funding cuts are having on our industry, especially during these challenging times.

We are excited to introduce Zealous Elevate to help address this issue—a new initiative designed to support creative organisations, collectives, and individuals facing funding challenges.

What is Zealous Elevate?

Zealous Elevate offers a chance for those who have lost funding or do not have the financial means to use our platform for free. This initiative aims to streamline your submissions process and empower your creative projects. We are giving away 5 Annual Pro Plans to selected creative organisations, collectives, and individual artists. Additionally, 15 applicants will receive discount codes to make using Zealous more accessible.

What is a Zealous Pro-Plan?

Winners will receive a Zealous Pro-Plan for 12 months, which includes up to 1,000 submissions, unlimited scoring rounds, multiple criteria scoring, public voting, 1 hour onboarding support, technical support via live chat and email and promotion across Zealous' social media and in our newsletter.
