• September 8, 2020: Release of the datasets
• October 2, 2020: Blind test set released to participants.
• October 9, 2020: Deadline for participants to submit their results for objective and P.808 subjective evaluation on the blind test set.
• October 16, 2020: Organizers will notify the participants about the results.
• October 21, 2020: Regular paper submission deadline for ICASSP 2021.
• January 22, 2021: Paper acceptance/rejection notification
• January 25, 2021: Notification of the winners with winner instructions, including a prize claim deadline.
