After the winners are announced, will it be possible to request a summary of the show you prepared, including a detailed score breakdown (e.g., a total out of 100 points) via a separate email?

Probably should take a moment to introduce myself….
Been using old systems for a bit and finally upgraded.

I sell retail fireworks.
Shoot maybe two shows a year.
Been helping my daughter to shoot shows at the PGI for the last several years.

Probably should also mention that I’m the seminar chair for the PGI and VP of Communications for the…Read More

Thanks for the quick response and clarification.  I was about to submit when I saw Thomas’ post.   I hadn’t thought about it before. 🙂

Hi everyone,

I’ve modified the 3D world settings, specifically lowering the brightness according to my design preferences, as well as adjusting the camera position. Do I need to revert to the same settings as the official design model (like sky brightness) before submitting the file ?

Thanks a lot and good luck to all!
