Fireworks 4 - International Fireworks Competitions

A fireworks competition is a great way for pyrotechnics companies to compete for prizes and to showcase their talents and their products to audiences worldwide.
These companies are often invited by organizers in order to highlight an event or to promote tourism in the area.

Winners of this event are given the so-called Gold, Silver and Bronze Jupiter Awards. They are judged on the quality of their fireworks display, the synchronization, the artistic concept behind the presentation and the audience's general appreciation.
2. World Pyro Olympics
