The challenge took place virtually on September 27, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 29 contributions presented, as well as an overview paper, were carefully reviewed and selected form numerous submissions. This challenge aims to evaluate and compare the current state-of-the-art methods for automatic head and neck tumor segmentation. In the context of this challenge, a dataset of 325 delineated PET/CT images was made available for training.
