SeedComp! 2023 was the inaugural SeedComp!, running from late 2022 to spring 2023.
Rounds
The Planting Round ran from 7 December 2022 until 7 January 2023, during which creators could submit 'seeds' as a base of inspiration for the following round. There were 69 entries submitted that year.
The Sprouting Round ran from 9 January until 1 March 2023, during which participants were asked to submit a game based or inspired by at least one 'seed' from the previous round. There were 18 entries submitted for this round.
The voting process spanned from 3 March until 4 April 2023 (extended from 31 March to avoid clashing with the Spring Thing), which allowed players to vote for 'awards' and submit 'stickers' to games and seeds. The results were announced on 7 April.
