# VJBooking

> VJBooking is the international directory and booking platform that celebrates the artist behind the visuals. It connects event organisers, venues, brands and creative agencies with 820+ professional VJs, projection mappers, video artists and live-visual specialists across Europe and beyond.

VJBooking is built around four pillars: **Artists** (curated portfolios), **Projects** (the work itself — videos, photos, mapping shows), **Opportunities** (jobs, gigs, residencies, calls and events for visual artists) and **Inspiration** (editorial articles about visual culture, tools and techniques).

The platform is free to browse. Artists can claim a profile and publish work for free; a Premium tier (€10/month or €99/year) unlocks featured placement. Organisers pay €20 per opportunity listing. Stripe handles all billing.

## Definitions

- **VJ (Video Jockey)**: A live-visuals performer who manipulates pre-made or generative video content in sync with music, typically at concerts, clubs and festivals.
- **Projection mapping / video mapping**: Projecting moving images onto irregular 3D surfaces (buildings, sculptures, stage sets) so the visuals appear to wrap around or transform the object.
- **Live visuals**: Real-time visual content performed alongside music, theatre or events.
- **Mapping content / show content**: Pre-rendered or generative visual material designed for a specific surface, stage or LED setup.
