It's your chance to be a star in the STAR as we hunt for characters for our new short story coming soon in Jamaica's number one newspaper.

Of course, you, our most faithful Star readers, do remember our last Star story where, for the first time, some of you were the stars of the 'show'.

We have been getting entries, but we still need persons for some of the characters.

If you think you fit the part, send your picture to the star@gleanerjm.com with the subject line 'STAR Search' or mail it to:
