Live on the big screen

Combine the challenge with the live photo slideshow: the results appear automatically on a projector or TV and motivate everyone to join in.

You stay in control

With the approval mode in EventPics you review uploads before they appear in the gallery. All photos stay in full quality and can be downloaded as a ZIP afterwards.
