Do you have a high-quality paper that demonstrates research or work related to media production? If the answer is yes, then now is the time to present it at CVMP 2012. The Best Student Paper prize is being sponsored by Google and the award is a very substantial £2,000.

CVMP is held in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGMM and Eurographics. CVMP papers will be published by ACM as part of their International Conference Proceedings Series. The top 10% of accepted papers at CVMP 2012 will be invited to submit extended papers to IEEE Transactions on Multimedia.

The deadline for full papers is fast approaching. With only two weeks remaining you need to get your submission in by 11th June 2012.

For more information about online submission, please go to the CVMP website.
