Use when deciding whether a project belongs at WACV or should route elsewhere, covering WACV's applications-first identity within the CVF's CVPR/ICCV/ECCV/WACV calendar, the Applications-vs-Algorithms track choice, whether the two-round winter timing fits your schedule, and routing to CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, 3DV, or a journal.

# WACV Topic Selection

WACV is the **applications-first winter member** of the Computer Vision Foundation's
four-venue calendar (CVPR in June, ICCV/ECCV alternating in autumn, WACV in winter). This
skill decides *whether* to send a paper here — and, if so, *which track* — before other
skills decide *how*. Facts are the WACV 2026/2027 cycles as read on 2026-07-09.

## The core question
