Shortlists take shape after flood of entries

For the first time we welcome Francisco Cobo, the new president of the European Demolition Association, to the event. Our thanks to ‘Paco’ and to the other eight judges – all listed below – who are giving up their time and volunteering their expertise to make the World Demolition Awards ceremony the global market leader in its field.
