In contrast to previous years of having pre-selected judges for the Jam, the 2023 Summer Game Jam opted to go with a Ranked Choice Voting approach, a first in its history, provided by the N64Brew Discord Community. Voting for each submission opened to N64Brew members on August 22, 2023, and will end on August 27, 2023, at 11:59:59 EST. This choice of voting works as follows: There is a list of all the submissions for users to vote on, and they each assign a rank from 1 (least favorite) to 6 (favorite), with one unique rank per submission (no two submissions with the same number).
