[Matej Kristan]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the plans for the upcoming VOTS2024 challenge!

The following three challenges are planned:

  * *VOTS2024 challenge* - Continuation of the VOTS2023 challenge
    <https://www.votchallenge.net/vots2023/>. The task is to track one
    or more general targets over short-term or long-term sequences by
    segmentation.
  * *VOTSt2024 challenge* - A new challenge based on the VOST dataset
    <https://www.vostdataset.org/> considers general objects undergoing
    a topological transformation, such as vegetables cut into pieces,
    machines disassembled, etc.
  * *VOTS-GenArt2024 challenge* - Continuation of the VOTS-GenArt2023
    challenge <https://www.votchallenge.net/vots2023/genart.html> aimed
    at showcasing creativity and artistic flair of the tracking
    community in the era of generative computer vision. The task is to
    generate VOTS-related images or short video clips using generative
    models.

*Tentative dates:*

  * *13th of May, 2024* - All challenges open
