ACM Multimedia through its open-source competition seeks to come up with a more advanced and excellent computer program by rewarding the teams with the best programs annually. These innovative computer programs are meant to enhance the multimedia applications and retrieval with also an objective of encouraging experts in the multimedia industry and academia to enrich and upgrade the existing multimedia applications.
