Foreign Participating Companies Wanted for the 13th Shanghai International Musical Fireworks Festival 2012


 

The Shanghai International Musical Fireworks Festival originated in 2000, and is held every year in early October during Chinese National Day. So far it has had twelve successful sessions. It has also been a pioneer in hosting international musical fireworks festivals in Asia, praised as one of the most charming festival celebrations in China by the China National Tourism Administration.

Six contests are included in every session of the Shanghai International Musical Fireworks Festival. Professional musical fireworks display companies from many different countries and regions take part in the contests which are in Pudong Century Park in Shanghai on the evening of September 30th, October 3rd, October 6th respectively (two contests in each night). An estimated 50,000 people, on-site and off-site, view the contests each night.

The degree of internationalization and social influence of the Shanghai International Musical Fireworks Festival has been enhanced rapidly over the past years, and now over 30 excellent teams from approximately 20 countries and regions such as China, USA, Canada, Argentina, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan, Korea and Australia have taken part in the competitions.
