According to the SCMS Website, acceptance and rejection notices for the 2009 Tokyo Conference have begun to be sent out. The website (cmstudies.org) states that "The SCMS office started sending the accept and decline proposal notifications today (November 25). Please be patient as it will take time for the system to process all of the notifications. Please do not e-mail the SCMS office until Monday, December 1 if you do not receive a notification."
You can also check the status of your submission under Conference/Proposal Submission Forms and you'll see it on the table describing your submission.
While I've heard of a few people getting rejection notices, I have yet to hear from anyone who has been accepted. As for my own case, my status is simply listed as "Submitted," so I'm assuming it's still up for consideration.
Anyone else hear anything yet?

No, I didn't put in, so I wouldn't hear anything. Honestly, you are the first person I've known who put in for Tokyo this year.
I'm also surprised to read that you've only heard of rejections so far. I'd have thought, if nothing else, the numbers would be more favorable this year, given the smaller pool of applicants.
Good luck.
I was following that chain of thought as well but I guess there were quite a bit of submissions.
The only reason I put in was because my department offers a travel grant AND next year will be a freebie for LA residents.
LA. Now that will be a competition.
My panel has been accepted. LA will be amazing, I'm hoping UCLA and USC are able to get some big events rolling.
Congrats, Drew.
Thanks. This could be pure speculation, but most of the rejections I heard about were for open call papers. I've never submitted to open call so I can't say for sure, but attempting to form a panel out of outliers seems to put a submission at a disadvantage.
Here's another vote for Drew's theory - my motion capture panel has been accepted as well. I'm actually in Tokyo right now (!) (on vacation), so it's a bit odd to think I'd be back in May. I agree LA will be great but I doubt I will put in for it - it's just a little too far from either Europe or Asia. I'll hear about it from you guys then!
Jenna,
You have to check out Benjamin Button. They mo-capped Pitt's face and composited it onto 4 elderly people in the first hour. The results are simply amazing.
I still believe that pre-constituted panels are the strongest bet--but nothing's for certain.
I've been accepted through panel proposals and open-calls. I've also been rejected through both. Though my success rate is higher with panels (3 out of 4) than with open-call (1 out of 3).
My panel was accepted. Thanks Drew, for posting this... I wouldn't have known without checking the SCMS website. Look forward to seeing you and Jenna in Tokyo.
Congrats Chris! Looking forward to it as well.
Congrats, everybody! It should be a great year. I really wish I could've went, but money was tight. Jenna, you need to tell me more about the motion capture panel.
By the way, this May, Jason and I plan to present our research to strangers waiting for tables at a neighborhood Benihana. So we're not sweating it either.
Scott, thanks, and I will write again very, very soon. Drew, thanks for the heads-up on Benjamin Button - it's really fascinating what they are pushing with the technology right now! Chris, congrats, too, on your panel acceptance, and look forward to seeing you and Drew in Tokyo. We should all meet up in a sake bar! Also, I'm quite familiar with the city, so I'm happy to help out if either of you have any questions.
