“The drone show industry is evolving rapidly thanks to the increasing number of talented providers and animators contributing to the sector's growth. This year, the jury board faced an exceptional challenge due to the outstanding number of submissions. The calibre of entries led to the expansion of recognition to include 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places across all categories. We are committed to continuous expansion of the Drone Show Competition with industry growth, and can't wait to start work on next year's activities to surprise you even more with better projects and wider activities," said Alexander Levandovskiy, head of drone show technologies at SPH Engineering.
