The United Kingdom’s Team Pyrotex Fireworx has been crowned this year’s winner of the Celebration of Light.
The massive three-day fireworks festival declared the UK both the people’s choice and judge’s competition award winner.
“Every year, teams participating in the Honda Celebration of Lights reach new levels of creativity, and each team is a winner just by being invited to compete here in Vancouver,” said Kelly Guille, president of Archangel Fireworks Inc.
“However, Team Pyrotex from the UK presented a fireworks display that truly captured the imagination of the hundreds of thousands viewing the performance. Their soundtrack, super-tight timing and show flow landed the trophy in their hands, and for that, they are the deserving winners,” she added.
Team Macedo Pirotecnia from Malaysia and Team Pyro Tact from Portugal also competed in the festival. Organizers say over a million people flocked to Vancouver’s English Bay to take in the shows
