On June 25, the Organizing Committee of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival - DIFF 2023 announced the two teams that entered the Final match.
After 4 nights of dramatic competition with high professional quality, the fireworks teams from France and Italy have excellently surpassed the remaining 6 teams to compete in the final match.
The judges spent hours grading the teams and came up with the results. The teams’ scores were based on a rigorous set of criteria including: Originality, ideas and themes of the performance; richness, variety of effects and intensity of colours; scale and quality of the performance, creative use of the shooting area; music, synchronization between music and performance; ending and overall impression of the performance.
Ms. Ngo Thi Kim Yen, Vice Chairwoman of Da Nang City People's Committee, Head of DIFF 2023 Organizing Committee shared: “This year, the Jury had a very difficult time selecting the two teams France and Italy for the Final, the difference in scores between the teams was not much. In the 4 competition nights, all 8 teams including: Vietnam, Finland, Canada, France, Australia, Italy, Poland, England all demonstrated endless creativity and left a deep impression on the audience, with extremely eye-catching fireworks displays.”
Regarding music, Major General, musician Nguyen Duc Trinh, Chairman of the Vietnam Musicians Association, member of the Jury, commented: “The two teams France and Italy used music and fireworks very artistically, very smoothly together. The Italian team opened the music very well with a classical style, gradually becoming modern; the fireworks displays were very consistent with the rhythm and emotion of the music to express a magnificent and majestic beauty. The French "weapon" was to use a song by singer My Tam, cleverly interwoven as a greeting, gratitude and integration with Vietnam, giving the audience the most interesting experience ever. The French team's skills were very good, so the connection was very good, creating a reasonable fireworks display."
During the announcement of the teams entering the Final, the representative of the DIFF 2023 Organizing Committee, Vice Chairwoman of the Da Nang City People's Committee Ngo Thi Kim Yen also conducted the drawing of the firing order for the 2 teams in the Final night on the evening of July 8. Accordingly, the Italian team will fire first and the French team's fireworks display will close the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival - DIFF 2023 season.
The Final Night will be a big challenge for the two teams France and Italy. Ms. Nadia Shakira Wong, Director of Global 2000 Fireworks Consulting Company, the consulting unit for the DIFF 2023 event, and advisor to the Jury, said: “The two teams only have two weeks to prepare for the Final, while the last performance was prepared by the teams within 3 months. In addition, the teams must use the fireworks list selected by the Organizing Committee, not prepare themselves as before. In addition, the teams entering the Final will be required to use 1 Vietnamese song selected by the Organizing Committee. This is to increase the appeal; evaluate the analysis and preparation of the teams”.
With the high-class and quality performances from the teams, the DIFF 2023 Organizing Committee has decided to double the prize value. The Champion team will receive a prize worth: 20,000 USD with a trophy and certificate. The Runner-up team will receive a prize worth 10,000 USD with a trophy and certificate.
In addition to the First and Second prizes, this year's Da Nang International Fireworks Festival DIFF will award two additional prizes: "Creative Prize" and "Most Favorite Prize", each worth 3,000 USD and a certificate.
The Final Night will be broadcast live on VTV1 at 8:00 p.m. on July 8.
