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.

Below is a list of some of the well-known international
fireworks competitions as well as short descriptions about
them.

1. Montreal Fireworks Festival

- officially known as L’International des Feux Loto-Quebec,
this competition began in 1985. Since then, it has become
one of best-known fireworks competitions around the world.

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

- is an annual fireworks competition held at the Manila Bay
in Manila, Philippines. This competition runs for five days
wherein two participants create fireworks displays on each
day. Awards given include the People’s Choice and the
