Submission deadline	February 2, 2024

The Society for the Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts (APA Division 10) is pleased to invite submissions for its first annual research conference.

For this interdisciplinary conference, we are seeking submissions on all areas of research related to the psychology of aesthetics, creativity, and the arts, viewed broadly, including basic, applied, clinical, and educational perspectives.

If your research might be a good fit for our flagship journal Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts or related journals (e.g., Creativity Research Journal; Empirical Studies of the Arts; Journal of Creative Behavior; Psychology of Music; Thinking Skills and Creativity; Visitor Studies), then it would be would be a good fit for this conference.

The conference will feature:

• keynote talks by leading international researchers
• thematic symposia and individual talks
• poster sessions in a three-minute thesis format
• practical workshops on methodological and statistical topics
• mentoring and networking events for students and early-career researchers
• a lively "student showcase" for students-only research

Types of Submissions

We are seeking submissions for three kinds of presentations.

Symposia

Proposals for symposia will involve a cluster of related research talks (3 to 5) organized around an important topic (50 minutes total). Symposia consisting of research talks are strongly preferred. (Discussant roles are discouraged, and proposals for "panel discussions" will not be considered.)

Symposia are the preferred format and receive a higher priority than submissions of individual talks.

Individual Talks

Individual talks present research in a compact format (roughly 7-10 minutes). The program committee will organize individual talks into thematic sessions (50 minutes total).

Posters

Posters present a study to the audience using only 1 slide and 3 minutes max, using a "three minute thesis" format. Posters will be combined into 50-minute sessions. Please note all poster sessions will be conducted in-person at the conference and there is not an online presentation option.

For posters, it is okay to submit projects that are incomplete and in progress at the time of the conference.

Like some other conferences, we're shifting to this digital poster format for a couple reasons:

• presenters avoid the cost and environmental waste of printing large, one-time-use color posters
• presenters needn't travel with huge, awkward tubes to and from the conference
• this format ensures that all presenters get a big audience instead of the handful of visitors (if any) that most posters get

How to Submit

Proposals should be submitted online at the "submission link" above via the EasyChair conference system, which will prompt you to log-in or create an account.

Individual Talks and Posters

For individual talks and for posters, please submit:

• the authors' names and affiliations
• title

Symposia

** The deadline for symposia (Dec 15) has passed; submissions for talks and posters are accepted through Feb 2. **

For symposia, all information should be submitted by the symposium's chair.

The following information should be entered into the online EasyChair submission form:

• the chair's name, affiliation, and contact information; the chair should be the corresponding author
• the names, affiliations, and contact information of the session presenters, added as additional authors
• the session title, a long abstract (250 to 500 words max) for peer review, and and a brief abstract (500 characters max) for the program
