Spain’s Hermanos Caballer lit up the skies during the fifth and final week of the competition, while China’s Liuyang Polaris Fireworks Co. Ltd. secured second place and Germany’s Steffes-Ollig Feuerwerk rounded out the podium.

The Philippines’ Platinum Fireworks Incorporated also took part in the finale exhibition, showcasing local pyrotechnic talent alongside international competitors.
