Singapore / Hong Kong, September 1 2009 – HP SPACE, the most anticipated pan-Asian reality television series set to debut on Star World and Channel [V] in November, flings open its digital audition doors on September 1 at Official website for HP SPACE - Language Selection to begin its hunt for Asia’s most exciting up-and-coming creative talent.
