Participants need to submit their project videos to compete in one or more of six categories: Best drone show 3D animation, Best drone show up to 100 drones, Best drone show over 100 drones and up to 1000 drones, Best drone show over 1000 drones, Best integrated drone show, Best drone show business promo video.
The application period runs until 30 November 2021, with the winners to be announced on 21 December 2021. They will be granted diplomas and included in the event promo campaign. Authors of drone show animations will also compete for MacBook Pro 13, while other nomination participants will compete for drone show operator kits.
“The first competition was established to create global awareness for artists that there is the industry of drone shows that can open up opportunities,” says Alexey Dobrovolskiy, CTO at SPH Engineering. “The idea behind it was to start building up a community of like-minded people passionate about drones and modern art. Within a year, we have observed a rapid growth of drone shows as an event form and decided to expand the concept into a multidisciplinary contest of both animations and real performed drone shows.”
The competition is initiated and organized by SPH Engineering, the company behind the first commercially available Drone Show Software to manage swarms of light drones. The international judging panel consists of Alexey Dobrovolskiy, SPH Engineering (Latvia); Angelito Diaz Jadormeo, 2020 competition winner (Philippines); Hyon Lim, Uvify (USA); Luke Carothers, Civil+Structural Engineer Media (USA); and other event and drone industry entrepreneurs, hardware manufacturers, experts at international organizations and educational bodies.
