Star Search 2024 is the 12th installment of the long-running Chinese talent competition Star Search, hosted by Mediacorp, which first premiered in 1988. The season premiered on 20 October and concluded on 24 November.
Hong Kong-based Nanyang Polytechnic student Tiffany Ho was named the winner of the season, with breakdancer Gladys Bay finished as runner-up and swimming coach Jona Chung finishing in third place. Ho was the first female winner in Star Search in 21 years since Felicia Chin back in season eight, and not counting the male-female champion format between seasons four and eight, Ho was the first overall female winner in 31 years since Ivy Lee back in season three. Ho won a Mediacorp management contract along with a BYD Auto vehicle (without a Certificate of Entitlement) won by each finalist in the top three. Six contestants from this season besides the two runner-ups were also signed to Mediacorp a month later on 24 December, with Amy Ang signing to its content creator network Bloomr.SG; Bay, Chung, Chua Seng Jin, Gladys Ng, Ler Ka Ying, June Tan, and Tan Zi Sheng were signed on The Celebrity Agency.
