After three years of success, the contest is now organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval, where the evaluation results are presented. Thanks to the effort of previous track organizers,SHREC already provides many resources to compare and evaluate 3D retrieval methods. For this year's contest, we aimed at new and updated tracks. This time, three track were run: generic shape retrieval, querying with partial 3D models, and structural retrieval of watertight models.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): H.3.3 [Information Storage and Retrieval]: Information Search and Retrieval, I.3.5 [Computer Graphics]: Computational Geometry and Object Modeling, I.4 [Image Processing and Computer Vision]: Scene Analysis, I.5.4 [Pattern Recognition]: Computer Vision
