We invite proposals of papers, demonstrations or short performances, workshops or panel discussions. A brief summary only is required for the selection process. This should be submitted electronically to easychair.org, an automated online submission system. You will be asked to create an account with the system before uploading your summary.
We require a summary proposal on not more than one page. The title, authors' name, affiliation and contact details including email address must be shown at the top of the page.
In case of problems, please email papers@eva-conferences.com.
EVA London is celebrated for its wide variety of topics, its cross-displinary approaches and presentations of cutting edge technologies. Within the overall theme of electronic visualisation, it addresses both current practice and historic research. Subject areas may include but are not limited to the concepts and practice of:
Case studies may be accepted, provided that they include discussions of wider principles or applications using the case study as an example.
Proposals for panel sessions are welcome. They will be assessed like the other proposals, but bearing in mind that a panel would take up a larger chunk of EVA than others we would be looking for it to be of interest to a varied audience. We will look for panel sessions to provide opportunities to engage the audience, since most delegates are interested and often expert in using and exploring technologies.
The proposal must be received by 15th January.
The total length of any panel session should be not more than 60 minutes (at most 75 if the topic is exceptionally varied)
The session should consist of a mix of brief presentations of issues or technologies and audience discussion of problems, challenges or potential applications.
The proposal should:
- describe the overall theme
- set out a timed programme for the session
- name each of the speakers
- briefly describe what aspect of the theme each speaker would cover.
Each speaker will be expected to provide a paper suitable for printing in the conference proceedings.
Demonstrations can be part of the panel session as long as they supplement /illustrate the points/argument being made by the speaker. A simple 'demo' is best provided outside the session in time set aside for demos.
Papers are peer refereed and may be edited. Publication is in hard copy as conference preprints and also online. Full papers are up to ten A4 pages in length including images and references. Publication is not essential: if you do not wish to submit a paper for publication we can publish an abstract.
We aim to send notifications of acceptance of proposals by 9th February 2010.
The deadline for submitting a full paper will be 2nd April 2010.
The discounted rate for speakers' registration will be notified in due course. Registration costs are likely to be similar to those for 2009 (please refer to the registration page on EVA London 2009). We aim to offer a limited number of bursaries for those without access to grants for conferences, such as practising artists.
There are also attractive opportunities for organisations to support an aspect of the conference such as the publication or a reception or bursaries for delegates, or to demonstrate services or products.

The EVA London conference is held annually as part of the family of EVA Conferences International, held in venues around the world since 1990. The conferences have provided a unique forum for the introduction of digital technology in imaging, sound and performance into culture and the arts. EVA London is an activity of the Computer Arts Society, a group of the British Computer Society, where the next conference will be held, in July 2010. EVA has a proud tradition of being eclectic and cross‐disciplinary, embracing the many ways in which technology has enlivened the visual and performing arts. The conference themes include 2D and 3D digitisation, cultural heritage, digital media, electronic art, immersive environments, virtual and augmented worlds, sound, music, film, animation.
The EVA London organising committee seeks a distinctive and attractive logo for branding and promotion of the EVA London Conference, on the theme of Art and Technology. The logo should symbolise visualisation in the arts, and be colourful, eye‐catching, uncluttered, and convey something of the spirit of London and camaraderie of the event. It should be adaptable for use at various scales in print, stationery, presentation graphics and on the Web. It should also be effective in grey‐scale or black‐and‐white for monochrome copy. Information about the Computer Arts Society can be found at: www.computer-arts-society.org/. Please note that the new identify of EVA London is in future to be separate and distinct from the general branding of the EVA Conferences International.
The logo should be designed digitally and submitted in JPG image file format, attached to an email message. The longer dimension of the image should not exceed 1,000 pixels. Entries should be sent to l.macdonald@lcc.arts.ac.uk, clearly marked in the subject line “Entry for EVA logo competition”.
The closing date is Friday 26th February 2010.
The panel of judges will assess the designs by viewing at full‐screen size on an LCD flat‐panel display, without knowledge of the identity of each entrant. The judges’ decision will be final. The winner will be asked to supply the digital design and supporting materials in origination format (such as AI, PSD, EPS, BMP), together with guidelines for its use in various media. The winning design will remain the intellectual property of the designer, who will grant a license to the organising committee to use it for all purposes associated with the Conference. This is an equal‐opportunity competition, with no restrictions on nationality, age, affiliation, or any other aspect of personal identity.
A cash prize of £250 will be given to the winning designer, who will be informed by the end of March 2010. The winning design will be used in all promotional materials and web pages for the EVA London Conference over the next five years. The winner will also receive free registration for the EVA London Conference 5th‐7th July 2010, valued at a further £250.

Thank you for offering a paper for EVA London 2010.
The deadline for submitting your full paper is the end of Friday 2nd April at the latest. This must be strictly observed. Please send your paper before then if at all possible. Please submit your paper via email to :
papers@eva-conferences.com
You must also sign and post the copyright form which can be found at: EVA Copyright Form. All authors must sign and send it as soon as possible to the address given on the form. See the instructions on the form.
It is essential that you prepare your paper following the style and format given in the documents listed below. It is very important to read carefully and follow the instructions in the EVA 2010 Author Guidelines document and the detailed guidelines given in the eWiC paper preparation document. You may use the EVA Starter document as a template and replace the sample text with that for your paper, so that you use the required styles. Or, you may use the Word 2000 document template if you prefer.
You are advised to take account of the reviewers' comments, which have been sent to you. Papers will be reviewed immediately after 2 April and a final decision made to accept or not. Accepted papers may be edited for clarity and grammar. We plan to include your paper both in the published proceedings that all delegates will receive as part of their conference registration and also in the online proceedings. However, it is possible that your paper may not be suitable for publication in either way, for a variety of reasons.
Please note that EVA presentations have a strict time limit of 20 minutes, including any question time.
Registration arrangements (including a special rate for speakers) will be online shortly.
Financial assistance: We hope to be able to offer a few bursaries later in the year. Bursaries would cover the registration fees only; we cannot offer assistance with travel or accommodation costs.
In the meantime you should apply to every possible alternative source of funding support. The number of bursaries will be very limited and we expect that demand will be high, so not every request will succeed. Please make sure you have financial arrangements to cover attendance before you finally confirm attendance or send in a paper.
Also please note that EVA cannot supply letters of invitation or support.
We look forward to meeting you 5-7 July at EVA London 2010, at the British Computer Society.
Costs for registration for 2010 will be advertised shortly.
