There is a nominal competition, you can vote by text but there isn't a prize- I think the competition aspect is just like an added-extra. Ie , its not really about who is the "best" , its more of an entertaining evening generally. I might be wrong on this, but I think its the same companies every year that compete, MLE, Spitfire, Celebration and another one- I think Pyromania.
Personally, I do like the idea of a competition, but I think it would be better (although I'm sure it is too complicated) if you could rate each display, rater than just vote for the one you think is the best.
If I remember correctly, although it may have changed, they have a "free" seating policy, rather than chairs/stands etc. So you can sit anywhere, but bring camping chairs!
Date is August 2nd, its £15 per person.

The only small issue is that leaving these events traffic can get rather snarlled up- very frustrating if you have a long drive ahead. Personally, I get very uncomfortable in crowds.
