To celebrate the 60th Anniversary, Star Trek Fleet Command invites you, the fans, to share how Star Trek has impacted your lives. Make a video telling your story, based on the 3 prompts, for a chance at being immortalized as an NPC inside Star Trek Fleet Command.

All entrants must be 18 years of age or older at the time of entry and reside in one of the following geographic areas: Canada (excluding Quebec), France, Germany, United Kingdom (“U.K.”) (including England, Scotland, Wales and excluding Northern Ireland), and the United States (“U.S.”) including the District of Columbia (“D.C.”) (excluding Guam, Puerto Rico, and all other U.S. territories and possessions) (collectively “Geographic Area(s)”).

Similarly, entrants may not be a professional actor/writer/editor (i.e. one who is paid for their work).

Not at all! We want to see your room, your Trek collection, and your genuine self—no green screens or fancy editing apps required. Face a bright light or window, treat the camera lens like you are looking through a viewscreen at a friend, and aim for a clean 60 – 120 second run-time.

No. To maintain absolute authenticity and protect the integrity of the community celebration, all video submissions must be wholly original and created entirely by the entrant. Content generated, written, or edited using artificial intelligence technology systems will be disqualified.

All official submissions must be kept under 120 seconds in length. Any video entry that exceeds the 120-second maximum cap will be disqualified in its entirety.

Tell your story in your language—English, French, German, or even Klingon! In those instances, please include subtitles or captions in English.

The Join the Fleet contest and gift card drawing are only open to residents in Canada, France, United Kingdom, Germany and the United States. Void in Quebec, Northern Ireland, Guam, Puerto Rico, and all other U.S. territories and possessions, and where prohibited by law.

The gift card drawing is only open to residents in Canada, France, United Kingdom, Germany and the United States. Void in Quebec, Northern Ireland, Guam, Puerto Rico, and all other U.S. territories and possessions, and where prohibited by law.

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.

Our official Starfleet selection panel will evaluate and score each entry across four technical categories, while accounting for votes accumulated from the community.

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:

1. Narrative Originality
2. Alignment with Star Trek Values
3. Presentation Quality
4. Production Creativity
