The NeurIPS 2026 conference has announced a call for competition track proposals, emphasizing the evaluation of large language models (LLMs) and their societal impact. Organizers are particularly interested in proposals that address scientific questions and demonstrate positive societal contributions, especially those aiding underserved communities through AI. Proposals must adhere to NeurIPS's ethical guidelines and be submitted via the OpenReview system by May 15, 2026. Competitions will be evaluated on scientific relevance, feasibility, data quality, and diversity commitment. Accepted proposals will host workshops during NeurIPS 2026, with key dates including acceptance notifications on June 15, 2026, and workshops on December 11–12, 2026. Organizers should launch competitions by June 2026 and conclude by October 2026, with the option to publish findings in PMLR proceedings.
