Jan 26, 2021 [Back to Blogs](https://blog.balfour.com) [ Photography ](https://blog.balfour.com/topic/photography) , [ Technology ](https://blog.balfour.com/topic/technology) *Balfour's EZPix events can help with more than just portrait collection. We've expanded our unique EZPix tool for requesting event-specific photos from your school community! * Since the August 2020 launch of the [EZPix Portraits](https://blog.balfour.com/its-a-snap-to-gather-portrait-photos-with-ezpix), the yearbook industry's first crowdsourcing portrait solution, Balfour has helped schools request more than 50,000+ school pictures! With so much uncertainty about picture day, that's a lot more smiling faces than many schools expected to see in their 2021 yearbooks! EZPix has now expanded to support **event photo requests**, giving yearbook staffs an easy (*pun intended*) way to target the right audience for collecting event pictures for the yearbook.  **The process is simple:** 1. Import a list of your students, with emails (or use your existing list) 2. Send an EZPix Events eMarketing campaign for *specific* photos 3. Photos that are shared are automatically uploaded into your yearbook project* The key to EZPix Events is asking *specific* students or parents for *specific* pictures you know they are more likely to have. While an open call for photos may be effective for some schools, this targeted approach is showing early success.  **Adviser Tools** - Customized eMarketing templates to automate event photo requests - Ability to send request to only the students who participated in specific events you need. - Photos automatically added to myYear/Encore projects, and downloadable for those schools using BalfourTools or StudioWorks+. **Parents Tools** - Custom and secure link to upload event pictures - Easy photo upload from desktop or mobile device; no app to download - Add captions and student names during upload  - Unlimited photo uploads - Photo resolution check for image quality and compatibility EZPix Events provides an innovative solution to crowdsourcing, and can be supplemented along with Balfour's ImageShare app or the [EZPix Web link. ](https://studio.balfour.com/ezpix) Learn more about [EZPix Events](https://help.balfour.com/knowledge/what-is-ezpix-events) in our knowledge base.
