PyroJam's Pyromusical Competition is a one-of-a-kind showdown of jaw-dropping madness! Here's how it works:
Pyrotechnicians from around the world poured their time and talent into creating the most magnificent fireworks designs possible.
These renowned specialists then submitted their works of art as part of a pre-PyroJam virtual design competition hosted by Finale3D, the world's most advanced fireworks display choreography software company.
A panel of judges will then select the top three finalists out of hundreds of entries based upon five main criteria: soundtrack quality, show size and balance, synchronization/timing, overall design and artistry, and originality of design aspects.
PyroJam creator Innovative Pyrotechnic Concepts (IPC) will assemble and fire the shows. The judges will select a winner…and the audience will cast their votes to crown their “People's Choice!”
| - The Mix
Gasoline fireballs will be sprinkled throughout the night to inspire and awe the crowds.
| - The Finale // 10 P.M.
The evening's final show - designed, built, and fired by IPC - will be a breathtaking dream-making sensation that combines the wonderful worlds of music and fireworks. Warning: Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster ride like nothing you have experienced…ever!
Don’t miss out! Ages 6 & up require a ticket.
PyroJam creator Tim Jameson is the owner of Innovative Pyrotechnic Concepts (IPC), which partnered with Finale 3D (a fireworks display choreography software company) to host a pre-PyroJam international virtual design competition.
