The 2018 PBA All-Star Week is the annual all-star week of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA)'s 2017âÂÂ18 season being held on May 23 to 27, 2018 on three different venues covering Luzon (Batangas), Visayas (Iloilo) and Mindanao (Davao).
This edition was exclusively only for big men (power forwards and centers).
Gabby Espinas replaced Yancy de Ocampo, who was unable to participate.
This year's shootout featured a new format. Each of the five racks now has two moneyballs, with the first and fifth balls being valued as two points. This was a departure from the previous years' feature of having an "all-moneyball rack". This also increased the maximum possible points to 35 from 34.
This year's contest only featured four judges instead of the traditional five.
The league launched a logo-making contest for the All-Star week on February 23, 2018. The winner of the contest will win an all-expense-paid trip for two to one of the All-Star week legs (Davao, Batangas or Iloilo).
On March 15, an entry by John Paul Limos was selected as the winner of the contest by a selection committee composed of Commissioner Willie Marcial, PBA Press Corps president Gerry Ramos and Magnolia Hotshots Pambansang Manok team manager Alvin Patrimonio. The winning entry however got disqualified the following day since the logo had a very similar look from the logo used by PlayPark All-Stars (an e-sports tournament).
On March 19, a new logo, designed by Jerome Allan Moreno was selected as the winner of the logo making contest.
