What are Primary Categories and Sub-Categories?
Zoomaru events are classified by Primary Category and Sub-Categories.

Primary Categories are assigned to specific Portal Partners and used to narrow the interest of the Zoomaru Calendar on that Portal. However, an event submitter can post an event with any Primary Category designation other than the one assigned to the Portal. Only one Primary Category may be assigned to an event. Examples of Primary Categories are: Art, Food and Wine, Agriculture...

Sub-Categories further refine the type of event that is posted. An event can have more than one Sub-Category. Example: An ART event may have - Call to Artist, Music, Theatre, Food and Wine - as Sub-Categories. When a visitor searches for Music events, this event will will displayed.
