4. Judging & Voting Mechanics
Each entry will receive a final score that combines points awarded by our judges and the fan voting process. Each entry will receive an initial score from one judge. This will be combined with the points awarded by the fan voting process. The top 30 entries will then be scored by the full panel of judges. These scores will be combined with the fan scores to determine the final winners, including the potential Top 8 Candidates and the potential Grand Prize Winner. All winners are subject to verification. Please see the rules for more details.
The following outlines how the judges scores and fan voting will be applied to arrive at the final list of winners.
| Judges Score | Combined score out of 600 points based on Narrative Originality, Alignment with Trek Values, Presentation Quality, and Production Quality. | Up to 600 pts |
| Fans Score | Rank-based percentile system based on total fan votes, which the fans voted on using the same criteria as the judges. | Up to 400 pts |
| TOTAL | Up to 1000 pts |
Our official Starfleet selection panel will evaluate and score each entry across four technical categories, while accounting for votes accumulated from the community.
| Category | Description | Points Possible |
| Narrative Originality | The uniqueness of the “Bold Mission” story and personal reflection on the Trek legacy. | 180 pts |
| Alignment with Trek Values | How effectively the submission reflects core themes: exploration, diversity, innovation, or unity. | 120 pts |
| Presentation Quality | Clarity of message, vocal delivery (if video), and overall coherence of the “Mission” pitch. | 120 pts |
| Production Creativity | The visual/auditory effort, including cosplay, STEM integration, editing, or use of the campaign toolkit. | 180 pts |
| SUBTOTAL | 600 pts |
The judges will award a raw score, from 0 to 10, that will then be weighted based on the category to arrive at the relevant score based on the above criteria:
- Score 0: Did Not Meet Requirement. Complete omission of core prompts, severe rule violation, or total lack of relevance.
- Score 1–3: Developing / Poor. Superficial, cliché responses. Low vocal clarity or extremely poor environmental lighting/framing.
- Score 4–6: Satisfactory / Good. Explicitly fulfills the baseline requirements. Answers all prompts clearly with good pacing and clean technical audio/video capture.
- Score 7–8: Excellent / Highly Executed. Strong, specific personal anecdotes. Displays active “Star Trek Values” in real life and leverages deliberate creative choices (uniforms, collectibles, or community toolkit assets).
- Score 9–10: Exceptional / Starfleet Elite. Unforgettable, emotionally resonant story. Demonstrates massive real-world impact (STEM milestones, community leadership, etc.) paired with charismatic, flawless presentation value.
When you browse the gallery and watch submissions from other fans, please note that this isn’t a popularity contest. Just like our official panel, we ask that you cast your daily votes based on the core four factors:
- Narrative Originality
- Alignment with Star Trek Values
- Presentation Quality
- Production Creativity
