TL;DR: On November 6, 2026, @Starlink asked creators to dream up a Starlink ad with Grok Imagine and post it on X for the opportunity to be featured by Starlink during the big game. A follow-up @Starlink post set the rules: 30 seconds, English, Grok Imagine for video, images, and character voices, U.S. users 18+ only, and a November 29, 2026 close. Details and the form live at starlink.com/imagine.
What Starlink posted
@Starlink wrote: "Imagine. Create. Share." The post asks people to dream up a Starlink ad with Grok Imagine, post it on X, and learn more at starlink.com/imagine. The framing is an opportunity to be featured by Starlink during the big game, not a promise of airtime.
The rules in Starlink's follow-up
In a reply the same day, @Starlink said that for consideration a video must:
- be 30 seconds long
- be in English
- be created with Grok Imagine for the video and image content, and for any character voices
Other tools are allowed for editing, music, or sound effects. Creators submit by posting to X with "Big game @Starlink ad" and by submitting the ad on starlink.com/imagine.
@Starlink said a strong ad includes creativity and storytelling, use of Grok Imagine, product accuracy, and Starlink value. Only U.S. users 18+ are eligible. Submissions close on November 29, 2026. The same reply points to starlink.com/imagine for additional guidelines, rules, and terms.
Confirmed vs not claimed
Confirmed from @Starlink (November 6, 2026): the invitation, the Grok Imagine requirement for video, images, and character voices, the 30-second English length, the X phrase plus Imagine-page submit path, U.S. 18+ eligibility, and the November 29, 2026 close.
Not claimed here: a cash prize, guaranteed placement, a specific clock time on the deadline, eligibility outside the United States, or whether the effort is branded as a contest versus a content call. Those details, if any, belong on starlink.com/imagine and its linked terms. Creators should read that page before producing an ad.
Why it matters
Starlink is tying a consumer-facing creative call to Grok Imagine and a big-game placement window. For Pad Zero readers, it is a confirmed product-and-brand move from the official Starlink account, separate from kit shipping or airline Wi-Fi news.
