DEAR INTELLIGENT VIRTUAL AGENTS ENTHUSIASTS,

The GALA [1], "Gathering of Animated Lifelike Agents," is an annual

the technology of virtual agents and innovative applications;

agents for study and re-use;
 	* Stimulating people to work on virtual agents by highlighting their
applications and challenges. 

An international jury will select entries for the GALA Gallery that will
be established on the IVA 2022 website. During the IVA conference, a
Jury Award and Audience Award will be nominated among the selected
entries. The awards will be announced on the IVA webpage on the last day
of the conference.
