Companion Submission Guidelines

CHI PLAY 2024 uses one single template format for submission to the “Extended Abstract” tracks. Submissions should use the new ACM Journals Primary Template. Detailed instructions on formatting can be found at http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions.

Accepted submissions are published in the CHI PLAY 2024 Companion Proceedings and ACM Digital Library.

Submissions must be made using the Precision Conference System (PCS). The deadline for all submissions is June 5th, 2024, 23:59 AoE.

Submissions for all Companion Proceedings Tracks (Works-in-Progress, Perspectives on Play, Student Game Design Competition, Interactivity, Connections, and Doctoral Consortium) should be formatted as follows:

  • ACM Journals Primary Article Template (references not included), single-column manuscript style. 
  • Authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single-column format, which is available for Word and LaTeX (use the “manuscript” call to create a single-column format, rather than “acmsmall”). If you are using the ACM LaTeX Overleaf template, please select the “ACM Journals Primary Article Template“, not the “ACM Conference Proceedings Primary Article Template”
