Promotional poster for the 8th VizWiz Grand Challenge Workshop. Large heading at top left reads “8th VizWiz Grand Challenge Workshop,” followed by “Call for Challenge & Extended Abstract submissions.” Two highlighted deadline banners say “Challenge due: Friday, May 1 (11:59pm AoE)” and “Abstract due: Friday, May 8 (11:59pm AoE).” A small Denver CVPR 2026 graphic appears on the upper right. Below, text states that the workshop presents four dataset challenges designed with data originating from people with visual impairments. Four illustrated panels summarize the challenges: locating private objects, grounding focus regions, grounding all answers, and tracking hierarchical instances.

ECCV submission in? Ready to compete on the leaderboard and build systems that work better for data originating from people with visual impairments?
