SIGGRAPH Trailer Contest

The ACM SIGGRAPH Education Committee is proud to announce an exciting new initiative for 2015 called the “SIGGRAPH Trailer Contest”. Students are invited to create a 10 to 60 second trailer promoting the 2015 SIGGRAPH conference in Los Angeles. Mediums can be computer generated 2D, 3D, live action composites, stop motion or experiential techniques. A panel of judges assembled by the ACM SIGGRAPH Education Committee will vote on and decide the winner. A grand prize winner will be selected to receive a complimentary full conference registration to attend 2015 SIGGRAPH in LA. The trailer may be screened at the conference and posted online.

The majority of the work must be created by current students. Applicants must be full-time students in high school, undergraduate, or graduate school or enrolled full time for at least one semester during the 2014-2015 academic year (Summer 2014 – Spring 2015).

Any usage of the ACM SIGGRAPH logo must follow the guidelines listed here.
