A couple of months ago, HP Space went around looking for the finest creative talents in Asia, receiving over 2000 digital auditions on their website at http://www.hpspace.com. After short listing 65 contestants, they were chosen to participate in on-grown auditions in China, Singapore and India where they were given mini-challenges, and had to work with complete strangers to meet strict deadlines. Recently, HP Space revealed the 16 finalists to have their skills and determination to a test.
“The high standard of work exhibited at the auditions and the vibrant personalities of our short-listed contestants convinced us to increase the number of finalists from 12 to 16. It is going to be very exciting to see these charismatic, immensely talented young Asia’s bloom in HP SPACE,” -- David Searl, Executive Producer of HP SPACE.
