Call Description
ACM Creativity & Cognition is a multi-disciplinary conference covering a broad range of topics. The conference brings together artists and scientists, designers, educators, and researchers. We seek to understand human creativity in its many manifestations, to design new interactive techniques and tools to augment and amplify human creativity, and to use computational media technologies to explore new creative processes and artifacts in all human endeavours ranging from the arts to science, from design to education.
The workshops aim to advance creativity and cognition research and break new ground by fostering discussions, collaborations, and innovative experiences from different areas. We especially welcome proposals on work that can bring people together across space, place, and time. We welcome proposals from professional practitioners.
Workshop organizers can host the workshops using technology they believe is best suited for the planned format and topic of their workshop. There need not be a single standard. Proposals should specify the technology and tools used to conduct the workshop in a virtual space (e.g. online meeting platform, videogame or VR). Proposals should also describe the timing and format of the workshops, and how the organizers plan to accommodate participants from different time zones. We invite proposals from academics, artists, and professional practitioners.
We encourage proposal submissions to review the ACM’s references for organizing accessible conferences (e.g., SIGACCESS’s Accessible Conference Guide). The Creativity & Cognition 2025 Accessibility Chair (accessibility2025@cc.acm.org) will work closely with this year’s Workshop Co-Chairs in welcoming questions, feedback, or guidance related to making workshops accessible.
Organizers should plan on promoting their event amongst their own peer networks and on mailing lists, including practitioner and professional groups if relevant. The event will also be published on the conference website. Workshop organizers are responsible for producing any publications of any workshop proceedings if desired. Workshops may be canceled or combined if there is insufficient participation.
What’s the difference between a Tutorial and a Workshop?
Tutorials are run by expert instructors, typically with established reputations, teaching people who are new to a topic or who want to align or intersect their practice with the latest academic research. In contrast, workshops are meetings of experts exploring new knowledge together.
Evaluation: Content is rigorously judged by the committee for suitability as a workshop and interest to the community.
Date: Workshops will run for a full or half day on Monday, June 23rd, 2025, which is the day before the main conference track, and will be online.
Engagement: We encourage submissions that offer interactive and participatory methods, and who aim to engage the wider community in the field. We encourage submissions that seek to go beyond solely academic audiences, for example, through engaging practitioners.

Format
- Length: In keeping with new SIGCHI guidelines, there is no formal page limit; however, authors should adhere to the typical level of conciseness of workshop submissions (approximately 4,000-5,000 words, excluding captions and references).
- Format: Submissions must be prepared using the ACM submission template (Latex and Word templates are available) in single-column format.
- Seeking Help with Formatting: It is important that your submission is formatted correctly. Incorrectly formatted submissions might be rejected. Online guidance is available from the ACM at: https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions. Examples of formatted submissions to C&C 2022 can be found here and an example workshop submission here. For LaTeX authors, submissions should be made using the single-column format using \documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}.
Please contact the Publications chair (publication2024@cc.acm.org) for further assistance with formatting your submission.

Publications Policy
- By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy. https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-participants-and-subjects.
- Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors. The collection process has started and will roll out as a requirement throughout 2022. We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.
