Deadline: 15 August 2026
The Computer Animation Festival Advisory Board is searching for an incoming chair. The Chair interacts with CAFAB members to help with high-level tasks and issues related to the upcoming SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia Computer Animation Festivals. This extends to year-round activities like the Computer Animation Festival Traveling Show.
The Computer Animation Festival Advisory Board was established to elevate the role of the Computer Animation Festival (CAF) as a global asset for promoting SIGGRAPH (the conferences and the organization) to new communities and territories. The CAFAB will provide guidance and support to the CAF Chairs for SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia. This group will also provide counsel to the CAG and SACAG as needed. Here is a link to a full description of the CAFAB.
The Computer Animation Festival Advisory Board (CAFAB) members are primarily past, current and future directors of the SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia Computer Animation Festival. The CAFAB was established to provide long term vision and consistency to both Computer Animation Festivals while helping to promote the SIGGRAPH Organization and Conferences.
As with other advisory groups, the CAFAB chair also interacts with other SIGGRAPH committees on issues pertaining to the CAF.
All applications will be sent to the ACM SIGGRAPH Project Manager at project-manager@acmsiggraph.org who will forward the applications to the relevant Advisory Board/Group and will copy the Chair of the Nominations Committee as an FYI. The Advisory Board/Group will nominate a person for the Chair position from the shortlist (of at least two names) of candidates who applied or were potential applicants and send this nomination to the EC for approval. Because the Chair of an Advisory Board/Group may want to run for a second term, an EC Director will manage this process, i.e., the SIGGRAPH Project Manager will forward the applications to the EC Director who will then forward the applications to the Advisory Board/Group, excluding the current Chair. The ACM SIGGRAPH Chair shall inform the approved candidate of the EC’s decision and copy the EC Director in charge of the process. If there were other candidates who were not selected, the EC Director will inform them of the decision.
