2025 ILDA Awards compilation video - Excerpts from all winners

Excerpts from winning entries in the 2025 International Laser Display Association's annual Awards competition. These give a good overview of the state-of-the-art in laser shows and displays.

Original entry videos were up to 4 minutes long. The compilation excerpts are approximately 15 seconds for Third Place, 30 seconds for Second Place, and 60 seconds for First Place.

Note: Some winners have had the music or video removed due to music copyright restrictions. This explains why some segments are silent, even though they were submitted to ILDA with music. And, despite the removals, there still may be some countries where the compilation video remains blocked.

See elsewhere in the ILDA channel for a playlist of all 2025 artistic award winners, and of just the First Place 2025 artistic award winners -- all at their full, submitted-to-ILDA length.

A list of all 2025 ILDA Award winners is at https://www.ilda.com/awards2025.htm. You can download a 68-page PDF booklet with more details about the Awards and the winning entries.

SAFETY NOTICE: Some videos depict laser beams aimed towards the audience and/or performers. This can be very hazardous if not done with correct measurements, techniques and equipment. Therefore, do NOT attempt to perform any similar laser effects 1) without qualified laser safety expert supervision and planning and 2) without prior written permission from appropriate authorities such as federal, state and local laser safety regulators.
