website =Campus SuperStar (zh-c|c=校园 SuperStar) is aspin-off ofProject SuperStar , a popular singing talent-search competition inSingapore . The contestants comprise students fromsecondary school s,junior college s and Institutes of Technical Education (ITEs). This differs fromProject Superstar , where contestants must be over 18 to participate.To date, there have been 2 seasons of Campus SuperStar. Each season featured 20 contestants who would compete in succeeding episodes and eliminated until the final four to compete in the Grand Final, where only 1 would be crowned Campus SuperStar. Each episode had two segments. The first segment was the performance segment where contestants performed in the Mediacorp studio and were judged. This would be broadcast live from 8pm to 9pm on Channel U every Monday. Public voting through telepoll would start from time of broadcast, and would extend till 10pm. The second segment, the result show, would be pre-recorded slightly after 10pm, where scores from the judges and from the voting by members of the public through SMS and telepoll would combine to determine the contestant(s) eliminated that night. The result show would then be broadcast on the same channel at 11.30pm.
The contestants are given a score from each judge based on their singing techniques,
body language , and presentation. The scores were between 1 and 10, with 5 considered a passing score. In Season 1, judges' scores constituted 30% of the overall score, while the other 70% came from the public's SMS and call-in votes.cite web |title=Campus Handbook | url=http://www.campussuperstar.com.sg/about.htm |publisher=Mediacorp TV |accessdate=2006-01-02] This percentage allocation was reversed for Season 2, but was reverted back to the original ratios starting from the semi-final rounds. cite web |title=Brace yourself for another bout of SuperStar hysteria! |url=http://u.mediacorptv.com/css2/about.htm |publisher=Mediacorp TV |accessdate=2007-05-28]Early Auditions
