The SM Little Stars China winners will also be arriving for their 5-day tour here in Manila. They will be doing mall tours in SM North EDSA and SM Aura, and will showcase talents in the Grand Finals of Philippines’ SM Little Stars 2013.
SM Little Stars, as spearheaded by Mr. Hans Sy, originated from SM China malls then later on adapted by the malls in the Philippines. Open to kids from 4-6 years old, SM Little Stars keeps on growing as a contest through providing bigger prizes, kiddie workshops, TV exposures and having a cultural exchange program with SM China malls as winners from Philippines and China interact with each other during the Grand Finals, rendering a production number and individual performances of their talents.
Because of SM’s wide coverage in the country, aspiring kids have easy access to joining this mallwide kiddie talent competition and performance platform. Aside from SM Little Stars’ objective to find the brightest, shining and aspiring little kids that we may dub as our “Little Stars”, it also gives these kids a chance to showcase not only their talents, but also to have fun and gain confidence through various public exposures and workshops, and potentially win huge and exciting prizes. This makes SM Little Stars the perfect avenue to stardom.
