Sean , thank you so much for the kind words and thank you for submitting an entry.  Nearly 100 entries were received prior to the deadline and we could not be more pleased with the response to our idea.   The task at hand now is going to be a difficult one….narrowing it down to (3) finalists, but we are working our way through the shows and hope to have all the judges scoring and final decisions by the end of this week.

Now that the deadline for the submission has passed.   I would like to thank for this opportunity the Finale team for this competition, and to Tim Jameson and the PyroJam team. For providing us with spectacular platform on which to build our shows, with a very sizeable budget, a professional and organized site position layout, and an extensive and incredible Pyro effect Catalogue. My best wishes go out to you all.   DrewFinale Tim Jameson   Here is a photo from my entry. (It`s my first long exposure photo so be gentle :P)  

Thank you, Simon, I was not aware that the close box on the search field also cleared the quantity filter.  As you guessed, that’s a bug, and I just added it to my list for fixing prior to promoting beta to release.   I also added to my list,   (simon 2/1/22) Support short column nicknames for search text, e.g., pos=Pos-01. (simon 2/1/22) Support wildcards in search text, e.g., pos=A*.   These two are in the queue with others so I don’t have a date for them yet.      

It is generally an improvement. I like the “hot dogs” for things that you filter on a few things.   My main issue with it (I think it is a bug), is if I clear the search field it also clears the quantity filter. See pictures.   The other is that it is a is you use it with position, a clear all would be helpful. But generally, for position, a wildcard in search would be even better (and shorter search terms, such as pos and mfg). I would for example like to search for: “pos=A*” Resulting in showing all positions A01 to A24.

how do I find out if the application has been sent?

Hello Comunity,   I’m Anıl from Turkey. Pyrotechnician and show designer for about 17 years. I started fireworks journey with hand fired displays in 2005 when i was in college. It was a part time thing for me first, while doing a master degree and working at university as an environmental engineer. Then I chose fireworks to became my only profession.   First couple of years passed with hand fired displays and have done many shows until we realize the danger in it. Started to switch small chinese wireless firing systems to finally Galaxis Showtechnik systems. Since then its my passion to script choreographies with Finale and try to create innovative designs.

Will, the new 2D Lock sounds amazing.
