Submission Guidelines
Format Requirements
All papers must use the ACM SIGGRAPH conference paper template format and be submitted in PDF format. Please strictly follow the formatting requirements in the template, including font size, margins, and citation format.
Anonymity Requirements
To ensure fairness in the double-blind review process, authors must remove all information from the submitted paper that could identify the authors, including:
- Author names, affiliations, and email addresses
- Avoid explicit self-references such as "our previous work" when citing your own papers
- Remove acknowledgments (these can be added to the final paper)
- Properly enter all author information in the submission system
Supplementary Materials
Authors may submit supplementary materials (such as videos, datasets, code) to help reviewers evaluate the work. Supplementary materials do not count toward the page limit but should also be anonymized.
- Videos: Maximum 5 minutes, recommended format MP4, size not exceeding 100MB
- Code and data: Preferably provide links to anonymous repositories
Review Process
Each submission will be reviewed by at least 3 domain experts in a double-blind process. Review criteria include:
- Originality and significance of technical contributions
- Rigor of research methodology
- Validity and impact of results
- Clarity of paper structure and presentation
- Relevance to the conference themes
Submission System
All submissions must be made through the EasyChair conference management system. The submission system will open on August 1, 2025.
