Overview

The junior spin-off season of StarStruck was first announced by the hosts Dingdong Dantes and Nancy Castiglione after the season finale. This was an offshoot of the successful senior season, also announced on GMA Network program SOP, where the hosts invited kids from 5 to 7 years old to audition for the upcoming season. Most of the auditions were held at the GMA Network's headquarters and at SM Supermalls throughout the Philippines.

The pilot episode was aired on March 20, 2004. Like the senior version, the same rules were applied in selecting the Ultimate Survivors. This junior version of StarStruck is shown only on weekdays; Mondays to Thursdays would be tests and Fridays would be the elimination night. It became an emotional journey for the kids who had to leave the show. Nonetheless, they thoroughly enjoyed the workshops. The show held its the Final Judgment on June 26, 2004, at the Aliw Theater.

Selection process

In the spin-off year of the reality-talent search, out of hundreds who auditioned nationwide, only the top 100 were chosen for the first cut. From the top 100, it was trimmed down to the top 60, then to the top 30, and at last to the final 14 finalists.

The Final 14K underwent various workshops and training in order to develop their personalities, talents, and charisma. Every week, one or two hopefuls from the junior final 14 may have to say goodbye until only four remain. Those who were eliminated were dubbed as the juniors StarStruck Avengers.

The Final 4K will vie for the coveted the junior Ultimate Survivors titles, the juniors Ultimate Male Survivor and Ultimate Female Survivor, both of them would receive P1,000,000 pesos each plus an exclusive management contract from GMA Network.

The juniors Runners-up, both of them would receive P100,000 pesos each plus an exclusive management contract from the network. The juniors StarStruck Avengers (the losing contestants) also received an exclusive contract from the network.

Hopefuls

When the juniors Final 14K was chosen, they are assigned to different challenges every week that will show their acting, singing, and dancing abilities. Every Friday, one is meant to leave the competition until there were just six others who are left. From juniors’ survivor six, there will be two of them who will be eliminated and after the elimination of the two; the juniors final four will be revealed.

The juniors Final 4K will be battling with each other on the Final Judgment. People will choose who they want to win the competition by online voting and text voting. 30% of the result will come from the online and text votes and the remaining 70% is from the council.
