<b>Overview</b><br>
</span>The GALA, “Gathering of Animated Lifelike
Agents,” is an annual festival to showcase the
latest animated lifelike agents created by
university students, academic and/or industrial
research groups. The goals of the GALA are
manifold: To provide a forum to present and
evaluate the state-of-the-art in the technology of
virtual humans and innovative applications; To
disseminate research, by establishing an ever
evolving GALA Gallery (a repository at a permanent
web location) of virtual humans for study and
re-use; To stimulate students to work on virtual
humans. An international jury will select entries
for the GALA Gallery. The presentation of the best
entries and announcement of the awards will take
place at the GALA Final, which is coupled with a
prestigious conference each year. This year the GALA
Final will take place at the International
Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents – IVA 2019,
2-5 July 2019, in Paris, France<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Arial,sans-serif">The
GALA event is primarily a video showcase of “short”
projects involving animated lifelike agents (under
one of the topics of the main conference). The main
submission is a video, with an optional short
paper. It is open to students and industry as well
as academic institutions. Researchers are also
encouraged to submit demos, which will feature
particular applications of Intelligent Virtual
Agents, as well as tools for their development. The
submission may include a short paper explaining the
main contributions of the demo, and should include
a small video illustrating the demo to be conducted
at IVA. <br>

international jury will invite the selected entries

well as a high quality version of the video for the
GALA presentation. <br>
