Showcase your ideas and collaborate with fellow students by entering the new edition of the Signal Processing Cup challenge where the final round will be held live at ICASSP 2026. The 2026 Signal Processing Cup invites students to propose an innovative solution for enhancing real-time audio-visual zooming on smartphones.

The Signal Processing Cup (SP Cup) student competition, presented by the IEEE Signal Processing Society, gives students the opportunity to create a team and work together to solve real-life problems using signal processing methods. After students submit their work, three final teams are selected to present their work and compete for the grand prize of $5,000 at ICASSP!

While only the final three teams will be competing at ICASSP, all are welcome to watch the students present their work during the final competition. Join us and come see the action!

Team registration deadline is 10 November 2025. Find out how to form a team and register here.
