Preparations are underway for the 29th Macao International Fireworks Display Contest to be held above the sea area adjoining Macau Tower for five nights - on the 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd September and the Republic of China's National Day on 1st October, featuring stunning fireworks displays by ten teams from Asia, Europe and North America.

Lined up once again for the contest this year are globally acclaimed pyrotechnic companies; in order of appearance in the contest they are Australia, Austria, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Philippines, Germany, Italy, Portugal and China.

Organized by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), this year's Macao International Fireworks Display Contest again requests the teams to choreograph their fireworks displays to both music and laser light projections. Moreover, MGTO will join hands with the General Union of Neighbours Association of Macau for another year to present the Fireworks Carnival by Macau Tower with delicacies, shows and fun activities during display nights. Meanwhile, MGTO will promote this year's contest through an array of international, regional and local media and publicity channels.

Details of this year's event programme will be unveiled by MGTO at a later time, with information available at en.macaotourism.gov.mo.
