Competitions
* Each competition that fulfills the ICDAR Competition Rules will have a poster displayed in a designated location at the conference. There will be one poster per competition to present an overview and summarize the results of the competition. It will be the responsibility of the competition organizers to produce the poster for their own competition. Formatting of the posters will follow the same guidelines as required for ICDAR posters in general.
* Competition organizers will also be asked to provide a written paper summarizing their competition for inclusion in the ICDAR proceedings.
* Selected competitions will also have an opportunity to present a brief overview during an oral session. Depending on the conference program schedule, it may not be possible to include all competitions in the oral session. In such a situation, the competitions with the largest number of participants will be included in the oral session.
