The Next Big Stars: Sparkle Campus Cutie S2 Top 20 Finalists

Sparkle Campus Cutie Season 2 is back!

There’s an old saying adults used to tell us when we were just kids: “Let them start young.” If you have the talent, looks, energy, and charisma to become an artist, you might be the next big star that GMA Network is looking for.

Campus Cutie first season began last year in June 2025, featuring the campus cutie search, which showcased only male heartthrobs. Organized by GMA Artist Center, this program is on the lookout for the next big stars who possess talents that go beyond good looks and charm. Aside from looks and height, the contestants must also show strong skills in acting, singing, dancing, and/or hosting.

New season, fresh faces

Now in its second season, following the win of Mad Ramos, Sparkle Campus Cutie has finally unveiled the top 20 finalists in the search for the country’s next brightest stars. This impressive lineup features talented boys and girls who auditioned from all across the Philippines. The contestants will undergo mentoring sessions, workshops, and challenges to prove that they deserve to be hailed as the next Kapuso Star.
