Share this page
Please follow the guidelines below when preparing your manuscript for submission to SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 Art Papers.
NOTE: For your paper to be published in the Digital Library, please format your paper according to ACM Guidelines. Please use the ‘sigconf’ LaTex template, which can be downloaded here. For more information on how to prepare your paper, please refer to ACM Author Instructions. The Author Manuscript Guidelines below provides detailed information regarding required content, structure, and document formatting of submitted papers. This template is formatted in accordance with those guidelines.
Please use this template as a starting point for writing your paper. Once you have completed the writing, then create/print a PDF from this file. When you do so, it will then have the fonts, margins and other document formatting that adheres to the manuscript guidelines. Save the Word document in which you wrote your paper. If your paper is accepted to the Art Papers program, you will update the information in the document, and it will make it a lot easier to prepare your final manuscript for upload upon acceptance.
Make sure to update the running footer for this template to include your Unique Submission ID and the Paper Title. (View menu / Header and Footer and look for the footer content and replace the default text with your unique ID number and paper title.)
To be considered for peer reviewing or accepted for publication, the following requirements must be met by the author in preparation of the manuscript:
