On Saturday November 3rd the last EMMA Asia Finals Stage took place in Foshan/China. The day before the event started with the Chinese Nationals which were hold at the Poly Canal Plaza. Starting with the judging of the Chinese Finals for the international Judges it was a good chance to warm up for the final stage of the Asian Final Series. The Sound Quality & Install Judging started around 10. Everything went on pretty well so that this part of the Judging was done until 6 pm. Later on a great show went on in the evening when it had gotten dark outside because the ESQL competition began. The most amazing part was the Competitors-Show-Presentation with an extraordinary effort to attract the enthusiastic audience watching it. They played nice music, showing dance performances and even some of them presented a fantastic light or laser show. It was a satisfying day ending at 11°° in the night with a big applause. In total more than 100 cars showed up for the China Final.
On Sunday Morning the judging of the last Asia Final stage was starting. Again here single seat judging was used the same way as it has been done on all prior stages. The Judges were really busy listening to the cars and checking the installation but everything went on really smooth even though the competitors had been a bit nervous. On 6 pm the Back office was ready for the big ceremony , not only for Chinese competitors tough also for all the other countries taking part in the Asia Finals which have been Taiwan, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia & Thailand. Of course not all competitors of the other stages were able to fly over to China. But from every country there have been at least a few representatives taking the Trophies and Score sheets. When the ceremony started first of all EMMA CEO Alex Klett was saying some words about the finals and thanked the Team and Judges as well as EMMA China for the great work they have done. A special THANK YOU was given to Mr. Somkiat Pookayaporn who was the operative manager of the 2013 Asia finals. He did a really great job and received a big hand for this as well as a nice gift which was an i-PadMini he can use for communication around EMMA Asia in future. Last but not least the sponsors of the EMMA Asia Finals 2013 received a big applause. Without them this Event would have never been possible. Beside the competitors and judges they are the most important part of the whole event. So special thanks again to the main Sponsors Ground Zero & Standartplast and to the Sponsors Focal, Gladen, Mosconi, Qd An Bo Shi, Vibe, Dominations, Crescendo & Tchernov Cable. The Trophies given away were well split in between the Nations and some of the winners showed their great excitement on stage and afterwards. After the price giving the ceremony for the Asia finals, the ceremony for China took place on stage moderated by EMMA China Boss Peter Chang and also here the enthusiasm was big.
After 20 days of travelling around 6 different countries the EMMA Asia international Judge Team from Norway, Greece, Germany, Philippines, Indonesia, China & Malaysia is looking forward go back to their hometown and see family and friends again. It was an exhausting trip but of course they took a lot of experience back home and for sure they met a lot of old and new friends.
We are really looking forward to the 2014 EMMA Asia finals and are excited to see who`s taking part in next year!
