siggraph2010SIGGRAPH2009 is still warm in our minds but the ACM won’t rest, as they’ve just announced the first Call for Submissions for the upcoming 2010 conference for the “People Behind the Pixels”.  A few new additions this year include the “Dailies!” program including images and short animations within the last 18 months, and the new Computer Animation Short Category for any incorporating a “significant percentage” of computer-generated imagery or digital production.

“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,” stated 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.”
