On August 28, Metfone officially announced the return of its talent search program, Metfone STARS Season 3. Under the official theme “The Next Move,” this season marks a major new direction for the competition, shifting its focus from digital content creators in previous seasons to a nationwide dance competition that offers an exciting platform for young talents across Cambodia.
Registration is officially open from August 28 to September 18, 2026. Dancers from across the country are invited to make “The Next Move” in their artistic journey by joining the competition and competing for a share of the total prize pool worth KHR 52,000,000.
The main prizes include: First Prize, KHR 20,000,000; Second Prize, KHR 12,000,000; and Third Prize, KHR 6,000,000.
In addition to the cash prizes, each of the top three contestants will receive a special prize package from Metfone, including a premium VIP SIM worth USD 1,000 and one year of free home Wi-Fi service provided by Metfone.
This season also brings together a notable lineup of hosts, judges, and mentors. Popular personality Juvie will serve as the program’s host, while respected industry figures Chhay, Woori, and Choum Chhay will join as judges and mentors, accompanying and guiding contestants throughout their journey in the competition.
Mr. Le Duc Anh, Head of Marketing at Metfone, shared: “Metfone STARS Season 3: The Next Move reflects our commitment to supporting Cambodia’s younger generation and celebrating the creativity of local communities.”
According to Mr. Le Duc Anh, Metfone STARS Season 3 represents an important new direction for the program. While Seasons 1 and 2 focused on digital content creators and showcased the potential and creativity of Cambodian youth, Season 3 turns the spotlight to dance under the theme “The Next Move.”
The new season aims to celebrate the diversity of Cambodia’s dance culture, from traditional Khmer dance and K-pop to hip-hop and modern street dance styles, while creating a space where different dance communities can connect, exchange ideas, and grow together.
Through the competition, Metfone aims to create more opportunities for young dancers to pursue their passion and build pathways toward future careers. Supported by Metfone’s nationwide digital network and the Metfone STARS platform, the program seeks to connect young talent with new opportunities while giving dancers a major stage to showcase their skills to audiences across Cambodia.
Metfone also encourages dancers throughout the country to seize this opportunity to showcase their passion, talent, and creativity — and turn “The Next Move” into their moment to shine.
Contestants who wish to participate can submit their applications through Metfone’s official channels starting from August 28, 2026.
