New research results in graphics, including those at the intersections of graphics with vision, image, video, visualization, HCI, CAD, etc. are welcome. The list is not exhaustive. As always, excellence of the ideas is the predominant acceptance criterion.
The Technical Papers program, which includes both Conference and Journal tracks, is the most competitive of these three. Technical Papers give you a chance to work out your ideas at greater length and describe them in a citable archive. Both Technical Communications and Posters programs, on the other hand, provide dynamic forums for new and thought-provoking ideas, which might be not suitable for Technical Papers or not yet fully-polished, novel applications that address interdisciplinarity, high-impact practical contributions, valuable know-how from production work, e.g., behind-the-scenes view of new commercial or artistic work, and other small projects, which are incomplete or not of sufficient extent to warrant a technical paper. The difference between Technical Communications and Posters is their presentation forms. Technical Communications papers are up to 4 pages in length and will be presented in a talk, while Posters are up to 2 pages and will be presented in the form of posters without talk.
The deadline is absolute. Submissions that are in progress when the 20 August 2025 deadline passes, even if it’s because our server has slowed down due to high load, will not be accepted. You should allow enough lead time to avoid this kind of problem.
The deadline is absolute. The English Review Service makes no guarantees about turnaround, and it is up to you to make contingency plans.
No. Communications and submission materials emailed to the Chairs or other conference representatives are not considered to have been submitted; you must use the online submission system. Please leave yourself enough time before the deadline to avoid problems.
You must submit to just SIGGRAPH Asia and await our response before submitting elsewhere (should your work not be accepted by SIGGRAPH Asia). If you submit your paper to another conference or journal simultaneously, we will reject your paper without review. We will be in contact with the editors of several graphics journals, and chairs of other graphics-related conferences, swapping information. Several double submissions to SIGGRAPH Asia have been found in recent years.
Dual submissions are not allowed. Your submission cannot be under review by any other conference or journal during the SIGGRAPH Asia review process, or else it will be rejected.
A Technical Communication is more like a short paper. It’s natural to have its extended version submitted and published in a journal. But do note, it’s up to each journal to have their own policy whether they allow extended versions of previously published work or not, and how much novel content is required. Unfortunately, it is not something we can influence.
Authors are invited, but not required, to include supplemental materials such as additional images and videos, executables, and data for reproducibility of results, etc. These materials do not form a part of the official submission and will be viewed only at the discretion of the reviewers.
Technical Communications may be accompanied by a video that is five minutes or less in length.
You should number the pages in your submission, but not the final version.
A maximal four-page document describing your work (PDF).
The Technical Communication must be submitted in Adobe PDF format, and the representative image should be JPEG. Optional images should be in TIFF, JPG, or PNG formats. Optional videos should be in QuickTime, MPEG, or DivX Version 5 (or later) formats. Other supplemental materials can be provided in any format (for example, txt, zip, and html). However, there is no guarantee that the referees will view supplemental materials, especially if they are available only in an obscure format.
Select one primary topic area and one or more secondary topic areas from the list of keywords in the online submission form. Include those keywords under the abstract in your Technical Communication, along with any others that you feel are appropriate.
Two weeks will be given from acceptance notification to final materials due – 17 October 2025, 23:59 AoE. Revisions in this case should be minor unless exceptional cases which reviewers would then need to approve.
Yes. The review process will be double-blind and please make sure that all your submitted materials have been anonymized.
You are welcome to submit that report or thesis as supplemental material. Cite it in the third person in your SIGGRAPH submission, even if you are one of its authors. This avoids the necessity of anonymizing it.
No. The reviewer selection process includes no such provisions.
Only the Program Chairs know the identity of its authors. This information is normally used to avoid conflicts of interest. Authors’ identities are not discussed amongst reviewers, and so Technical Communication are judged solely on their merit, as determined by the reviews.
There is an oral presentation in a session.
Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for review, but they do not sign a confidentiality agreement. In general, there is wide respect for the confidentiality of submissions, but we cannot promise anything, or provide a written guarantee.
It would not be wise for SIGGRAPH Asia to give you legal counsel on the matter of patents and publication; we urge you to seek independent legal advice. The main issue is that in different jurisdictions (such as Europe) prior public disclosure could invalidate a patent application. The situation is different in North America, where you have one year after public disclosure (for example, publication) to file a patent. It is a common practice for authors to prepare a patent filing coincidentally with their SIGGRAPH Asia publication.
