Chicago,
Ill. - ACM SIGGRAPH announces the 2010 Call for Submissions for
contributors and volunteers for the 37th International Conference and
Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, 25 - 29
July 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
SIGGRAPH 2010 will bring together the "People Behind the Pixels"--the
brightest minds in computer graphics to share ideas and knowledge on
many diverse industry disciplines. From students to studio executives,
from scientists to researchers, SIGGRAPH provides contributors with the
opportunity to present their work to the world.
Exciting changes in 2010 include the new SIGGRAPH Dailies! program
celebrating excellence in computer graphics by showcasing images and
short animations of extraordinary power and beauty. Contributors are
invited to submit short (5-15 second) animations of recent work (from
the last 18 months), whether professional, personal, academic or
student work.
"Each year the technical content presented at SIGGRAPH gets more and
more impressive. So it's the goal each year, to improve upon the years
past--a challenging but rewarding task," says Terrence Masson, SIGGRAPH
2010 Conference Chair from Northeastern University. "Expanding
submission categories and extending deadlines open the pool of
contributions to much wider spectrums of the whole industry ensuring
the presence of more great content than ever before."
Also new for 2010 is the addition of the Computer Animation Shorts
submission category to the renowned festival in order to incorporate
animated short pieces that contain a significant percentage of
computer-generated imagery and/or digital production. Works can include
independent shorts, character animation, sponsored creative
explorations, narrative and experimental works, opening sequences, game
cinematics, selections and/or montages of animated television series,
machinima, and new-media formats.
In past years, contributors to the Computer Animation Festival adhered
to two deadlines for submission--one for partially completed works, and
a later deadline for when that work was completed. This year's later
deadline for the Computer Animation Festival now provides contributors
with more time to prepare their works for the final submission deadline
on 19 April 2010.
Every piece submitted to SIGGRAPH 2010 through the Call for Submissions
is reviewed by a highly qualified jury composed of top practitioners in
the relevant field. Because each jury needs time to carefully review
each piece, submission deadlines generally are several months ahead of
the conference itself. All the submission deadlines are strictly
enforced. Contributors are encouraged to plan accordingly.
Important submission deadlines are as follows:
Game Papers
Monday, 4 January 2010
