• The deadline is May 16, 2025.
• Call For Submissions
The PdMaxCon25 is soliciting submissions in the tracks of Music, Installations, Research, and Demos/Workshops. All submissions must rely on Max or Pd software in some way.
• Submission Guidelines
There will be four tracks: Music, Installations, Research, Demos/Workshops
Please follow the paper template (LaTex or Word) for the research track. And please review the tech rider guidelines before making your submission in music, installations or demos/workshops.
Music submissions must be appropriate for either our concert hall presentations or late-night informal venue. You will be able to indicate which of these two options in the submission form. We will require title, name, duration, year, program note (250 words), a description of how Pd or Max is used (250 words), a link to a recording or video of the work or equivalent documentation, and a complete tech rider.
Installation submissions will be selected on merit, but we cannot guarantee that we can honor all space or equipment requests. We will require title, name, year, artist statement (250 words), a description of how Pd or Max is used (250 words), a link to a recording or video of the work or equivalent documentation, and a complete tech rider.
Research submissions can fall under a short paper (2000 words) or long paper format (4000 words). We will provide a paper template when the submission portal opens. We will require a title, length (short or long), abstract, and a PDF of the paper.
The demo/workshop track is designated for projects or research that are interactive, classroom- or lab-based, or require more technology than research presentations. We will require title, duration, abstract, short description of how Pd or Max is used (250 words), a complete description of the demo or workshop with links to any documentation, and a full tech rider.
In all tracks, a work may be ‘accepted’ based on the double-blind peer review process. However, we reserve the right not to program or host a work that we cannot support with the resources available to us.
