This is a global stage for talents; The fifth International Stage Stars festival has wrapped up with the announcement of winners, who have been competing in four categories of singing, voice acting, show hosting, and sound impression.
The top performances from each category won the golden mic and a cash prize. Held in Iran's city of Rafsanjan, the two-day event brought together participants from 14 countries, including Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, India, and Turkey to flaunt their knack for stage performance.
To participants, Stage Stars is a big leg-up to achieving their dreams. The jury is comprised of top Iranian actors, TV presenters, and voice artists. They say the competition has been tough and those who stood out are real stage stars.
