Policies worth checking twice

  • Papers must be submitted via OpenReview using the official BMVC 2026 LaTeX/Word template.
  • Papers must not exceed 14 pages (excluding references); references and supplementary material are unlimited.
  • Supplementary material (e.g., videos, appendices) may be submitted as a single .zip file, but reviewers are not obligated to read it.
  • BMVC 2026 uses a double-blind review process: author identities must be anonymized, including references to prior work.
  • Work submitted to BMVC 2026 must be original and not under concurrent review for another peer-reviewed conference or journal.
  • Posting a preprint on arXiv does not constitute prior publication and is permitted.
  • Authors must commit to reviewing a proportional number of papers as part of the community reviewing model; failure to do so may lead to rejection.
  • No extensions will be granted for abstract or paper submission deadlines.
