[xinqif...@gmail.com]

Dear everyone,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Micro-Expression Grand Challenge (MEGC) 2026 on Visual Question Answering, held in conjunction with IEEE FG 2026 (Face and Gesture).

 Official Challenge Website:
https://megc2026.github.io/challenge.html

MEGC 2026 focuses on advancing micro-expression analysis using Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). This year’s challenge introduces two reasoning-oriented tasks:

 Task 1: ME-VQA (Micro-Expression Visual Question Answering)
Participants analyze short video clips containing micro-expressions and answer natural language questions

 Task 2: ME-LVQA (Micro-Expression Long-Video Question Answering)
A more challenging task where participants analyze long videos that may contain multiple micro-expressions

 Important Dates
Competition Opens: 23 December 2025
Competition Closes: 30 March 2026

Best Regards

Xinqi
